Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>English Premier League (EPL) leaders and current champions, Liverpool, last night lost 1-0 to determined Southampton.<\/p>\n

Southampton took an early lead after former Liverpool striker, Danny Ings lofted the ball over Alisson and into the top-right corner.<\/p>\n

A disjointed Liverpool tried to respond to the goal but they were just not accurate.<\/p>\n

Tella went close to doubling the hosts\u2019 lead after 40 minutes but curled his effort wide of the near post.<\/p>\n

Two minutes before the break, Salah nodded Mane\u2019s cross over the bar, which was the Reds\u2019 best chance of a lacklustre opening half.<\/p>\n

Liverpool\u2019s first shot on target in this match came in the 75th minute courtesy of Sadio Man\u00e9 \u2013 it\u2019s the Reds\u2019 longest wait for an attempt on target in a Premier League match since December 2015 (89th minute vs Newcastle).<\/p>\n

The Reds had a makeshift defence \u2013 Jordan Henderson and Fabinho as Vadijk and other full-backs are injured.<\/p>\n

Liverpool wasted a chance to stretch a 3-point gap between them and second-placed Manchester United who have a game in hand.<\/p>\n

Depending on results from Manchester United (33 plus a game in hand), Leicester City (32) and Tottenham Hotspur (29 plus a game in hand), fifth-placed Manchester City (29), who have two games in hand, can go on top of the log if they win their next two matches.<\/p>\n

City play Brighton and Crystal Palace, in that order on the 13th and 16th of this month.<\/p>\n

The English Premier League has never been this unpredictable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
