Liverpool were in sparkling form in the English Premier League on Saturday, blitzing Southampton 3-0 at Anfield to move to within a point of Tottenham Hotspur in the table.

Mohamed Salah stole the headlines with a superb double, while Brazilian Philippe Coutinho was back to his brilliant best, scoring and assisting in an all-round superb performance.

Credit too has to go to the Liverpool defence, who kept a rare clean sheet and didn't give the visitors much hope at all of getting a goal.

Fans were delighted not just with the attacking performance but that defensive showing too, especially from Dejan Lovren who was returning to the starting eleven for the first time since his disastrous display against Spurs.

The Croatian has had a difficult year in a Reds shirt but performances like Saturday's will go a long way to showing supporters that he can be trusted in the top-flight.

Fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on his role in the Southampton win...
