Liverpool faced significant challenges in their away clash against Southampton, the bottom team in the Premier League standings.

Despite fielding many key players, Liverpool began the match at a relatively slow pace.

However, the “Reds” demonstrated their quality, securing a two-goal advantage in the first half. Darwin Nunez broke the deadlock in the 24th minute, and Elliott extended the lead shortly after.

Southampton responded in the second half, with Cameron Archer delivering an outstanding solo effort to pull one back in the 59th minute.

The hosts came close to equalizing moments later, only to be denied by a brilliant save from goalkeeper Kelleher.

In the final stages, both teams had opportunities, but no additional goals were scored. With this hard-earned victory, Liverpool advanced to the League Cup semi-finals.
