Southampton 3-2 Liverpool
PENALTY APPEAL
Southampton 3-2 Liverpool
Christian Benteke goes down in a penalty-box wrestle with Virgil van Dijk.
No dice says Roger East.
INJURY TIME
Southampton 3-2 Liverpool
Four minutes of injury time as Victor Wanyama heads to the corner flag.
Post update
Southampton 3-2 Liverpool
Steve Claridge
Ex-Portsmouth striker on BBC Radio 5 live
"The game has become so open. Southampton put an extra man in midfield, all of a sudden Liverpool go to a 4-4-2 and the game has turned on its head.
"Mane has been fantastic, he has made such a difference and you can see why he is so coveted by other clubs."
GOAL - Southampton 3-2 Liverpool
Sadio Mane
St Mary's delirous, the away end disbelieving.
Simon Mignolet's clearance had height but no distance and the ball was worked to Sadio Mane to apply a pinpoint finish low into the far corner.
Surely that is game, set and match Saints?
GOAL - Southampton 2-2 Liverpool
Graziano Pelle
Graziano Pelle just bullied one Liverpool centre-back - winning a header high above Martin Skrtel - before returning to earth to bemuse another - Mamadou Sakho - to buy a yard of space for a shot 20 yards out.
It's deadly. Bottom corner. Mignolet powerless and that is parity.
Post update
Southampton 1-2 Liverpool
Liverpool look like they are dipping for the line already.
Slow passing build-up, walking through quicksand as they prepare to take free-kicks or throw-ins.
CLOSE!
Southampton 1-2 Liverpool
What a chance to seal it!
Adam Lallana nicks the ball in midfield, springs Christian Benteke, but the Liverpool substitute striker looks short of form and confidence as he duffs a finish narrowly wide of the far post when clean through on Fraser Forster.
Post update
Southampton 1-2 Liverpool
Inside the final twenty minutes and Liverpool's fans are rather wistfully and wishfully chanting the name of Luis Suarez.
That will not be their final change.

Ash: As a Liverpool fan, this game is now starting to get uncomfortably open.
SUBSTITUTION
Southampton 1-2 Liverpool
Liverpool also make a change with Christian Benteke on to replace Daniel Sturridge who has slowed up markedly in the second half.
SUBSTITUTION
Southampton 1-2 Liverpool
James Ward Prowse replace Oriol Romeu in the Southampton midfield in Ronald Koeman's third and final change.
Post update
Southampton 1-2 Liverpool
Nathaniel Clyne gets forward to make the extra man and neat snappy passing from Emre Can and Philippe Coutinho find him in a pocket of space in the box.
His low shot is slow and central though and Fraser Forster gobbles up.

Steve Claridge
Ex-Portsmouth striker on BBC Radio 5 live
"It is poor play from Mamadou Sakho, he lets Mane turn, does not get close to him, it is really poor defending."
GOAL - Southampton 1-2 Liverpool
Sadio Mane
It has been brewing.
Liverpool give away the ball in midfield as Steven Davis buzzes around like an angry wasp.
Graziano Pelle slides a neat little pass to Sadio Mane who stands up Mamadou Sakho, knocks the ball past him, beats him in a two-yard foot race and finally fires powerfully across Simon Mignolet.
Game on.

"Victor Wanyama has made a massive difference. All of a sudden the game has shut down for Liverpool, Where as before it was such an open game."
Post update
Southampton 0-2 Liverpool
Another cross and again the Liverpool goal is living a charmed life.
Virgil van Dijk meets a deep delivery at the far stick and directs the ball back through the six-yard box.
Sadio Mane stretches closest, but no-one can get a touch.
Post update
Southampton 0-2 Liverpool
Hearts in mouths in the Liverpool defence as Simon Mignolet comes for a cross and u-turns halfway through his journey. Graziano Pelle cannot punish him, directing a header just wide.
Post update
Southampton 0-2 Liverpool
Liverpool with some more intelligent probing - it is like having the world's best prostate doctor at you.
But Emre Can cannot connect cleanly as he attempts to sweep Adam Lallana's threaded pass goalwards.
Post update
Southampton 0-2 Liverpool
Liverpool seem to have been stirred by that let-off.
They suddenly look lively up front with Divock Origi rattling in a decent effort from a tight angle that Fraser Forster beats away and Adam Lallana almost finds Joe Allen with an audacious little scooped through ball.
