Pep Guardiola admits Manchester City feeling 'fragile' after fifth straight defeat

Mohamed Salah scored twice as Premier League leaders Liverpool came from behind to beat bottom-side Southampton and extend their lead over Manchester City to eight points.

Liverpool were gifted the opening goal as Russell Martin’s side approach backfired and Dominik Szoboszlai punished their mistake when building out from defence, in what was an error-strewn game.

The Saints benefitted from Liverpool’s sloppiness, though, when Andy Robertosn tripped Tyler Dibling and Adam Armstrong scored the rebound after his penalty attempt was saved by Caoimhin Kelleher.

Mateus Fernandes then stunned the Premier League leaders on the counter-attack as he fired Southampton in front, but Salah replied as he met a low ball to direct a finish under the on-rushing Alex McCarthy.

And in the 83rd minute, a handball from Yukinari Sugawara gave Salah the chance to complete the comeback and the forward scored from the penalty spot to send Liverpool eight points clear ahead of facing City next weekend.

Liverpool increase title pressure on Man City with thrilling Southampton comeback

Liverpool moved eight points clear at the top of the Premier League as Mohamed Salah scored twice to help them come from behind to beat bottom-club Southampton 3-2 at St. Mary’s.

Arne Slot’s side were looking to take advantage of Manchester City’s third consecutive league defeat on Saturday but were rocked by a determined and at times ferocious display from Saints, who briefly led after goals from Adam Armstrong and Mateus Fernandes cancelled out Dominik Szoboszlai’s first-half strike.

Liverpool’s opener had come from a costly Southampton error in defence, and there were two more after the break to turn three points into none.
