Liverpool Shirts | Liverpool's first game since Suarez left

Share
Liverpool V Southampton


Daniel Sturridge earned Liverpool three points with a late goal as they recorded a hard-fought 2-1 win over Southampton in the Barclays Premier League at Anfield.
Liverpool were far from their flowing best and laboured going forward. But Sturridge, who has become Liverpool's main man in attack after the exit of Luis Suarez, saved the day with a predatory finish from four yards with just 11 minutes to play.
The hosts controlled the first half, but chances were few against a Southampton side playing under manager Ronald Koeman for the first time.

One of those opportunities led to the opening cool, as an exquisite Jordan Henderson through-ball set up Raheem Sterling, who produced a cool finish midway through the first half. Nathaniel Clyne's powerful effort levelled proceedings in the 56th minute and Liverpool, who finished second last term, could have gone behind but Steven Davis missed a golden opportunity. The midfielder was made to pay as Sturridge reacted quickest to Sterling's header to prod home.
There were still nervy moments for the home crowd, who saw Morgan Schneiderlin's fierce effort tipped on to the bar by Simon Mignolet, before substitute Shane Long headed the rebound wide, but Liverpool held on for victory.
Former Southampton defender Dejan Lovren was one of two new Liverpool signings included from the beginning, alongside Javier Manquillo, while Schneiderlin started alongside four fresh faces for the visitors, who won the corresponding fixture last season.
Although the £75m sale of Suarez to Barcelona stripped the Reds of one of the game's most prolific strikers, Sterling and Sturridge struck either side of a Nathaniel Clyne equaliser to compensate on this occasion.
But Liverpool were left hanging on for the win and will have to improve significantly if they are to repeat or improve on their second-place finish last season.
