Liverpool playing like champions again, says Southampton's Hasenhuttl

Diogo Jota’s early double set Liverpool on their way to a crushing 4-0 victory over Southampton on Saturday to move up to second in the Premier League standings.

The Portuguese forward steered home Andrew Robertson’s cutback to open the scoring after 97 seconds, before another simple finish following fine work from Mohamed Salah put Liverpool two goals up and in command inside 32 minutes.

Midfielder Thiago Alcantara added to his stunning goal against Porto in the Champions League in midweek with a third five minutes later and Virgil van Dijk helped himself to a fourth against his former club early in the second half.

Jota had a great chance to complete his hat-trick but could not connect from close range as Liverpool eased to a win that lifted them above champions Manchester City, who play West Ham United on Sunday, and one point behind leaders Chelsea.

Southampton had their moments but they could not cope defensively and the loss left them 14th in the standings.

Brighton 0 - 0 Leeds

53 mins: Chance! Raphinha sends a long pass up to Dallas who lets it run out to Harrison on the left wing. He passes it back inside to Dallas who rolls the ball onto his right foot and shoots from just outside the box. The shot has a little swerve on it that confuses Sanchez who tries to push it over the crossbar. He stops the shot with his hand but the ball comes back into play and his centre-backs manage to keep the loose ball away from Rodrigo.

Brighton 0 - 0 Leeds

Leeds have lost their last five away league games against Brighton without scoring a single goal, while their last away league win against the Seagulls was back in November 2009 in League One.

They look like the second best team on the pitch tonight too but have found a way to stay on level terms after the first half.
