Liverpool supporters were left applauding Jurgen Klopp‘s side after their comfortable 3-0 victory at home to Southampton on Saturday afternoon.
Liverpool 3-0 Southampton
Premier League, Anfield
November 18, 2017
Goals: Salah 31′ 41′, Coutinho 68′
Two goals from Mohamed Salah and a second-half strike from Philippe Coutinho earned the Reds their fourth consecutive victory, consigning a flat Saints side to a miserable defeat.
Klopp oversaw a strong all-round performance from Liverpool, who kept their third clean sheet in the last four games and dominated in every area.
After the final international break of the year, this provides the Reds with further momentum, having turned round a disappointing run of form this month.
Here’s how supporters reacted to Liverpool’s victory over Southampton on Facebook, Twitter and our forums.
After a slow start, Salah opened the scoring with a beauty…
That's tremendous from Salah!

Salah worth at least double his transfer amount already, cracking business from the club.
— Tom McMahon (@tomjpmac) November 18, 2017
At this rate, Mohamed Salah is going to be in the PFA team of the year. Sublime goal, another reason he has been the buy of the summer.
— Dominic King (@DominicKing_DM) November 18, 2017
And the Egyptian added another before half-time…
That's why you play Coutinho in midfield. Wonderful creativity, quality goal by Mo.

Mad how Mo Salah is the best Liverpool player of all time

“Surely the little Egyptian’s on for a hat-trick today.”
– LFCFFC on the forums.
Mohamed Salah on course for the quickest contract extension in #lfc history.

I know he's only been here like four months but we need to give Salah a new deal. Not even joking.
— Sam McGuire (@SamMcGuire90) November 18, 2017
Excuse me Mr Salah, but what are you made of? What a player we have!!
— John Arne Riise (@JARiiseOfficial) November 18, 2017
Coutinho scored the third on 68 minutes…
Brilliant little pass from Mane to get Firmino on. Forster saved his drive but Coutinho slots from about 12 yards. And he's off for Emre Can! 3-0

Another clean sheet today for the reds! A brace for Salah, who now has 14 goals for @lfc… #LIVSOU pic.twitter.com/db3OMneuEd
— Linda Pizzuti Henry (@Linda_Pizzuti) November 18, 2017
five clean sheets in the last seven games. and five of the seven games saw LFC score three or more. get goals and the defense will follow. that's Klopp's Liverpool.
— nate (@natefc) November 18, 2017
“Very comfortable game. We defended well, outnumbered them in midfield and were creative up front.
Trent deserves a lot of credit. Really mature, intelligent performance. Salah glorious. Firmino tireless.
Very pleased.”
– ILLOK on the forums.
Liverpool have won three league games in a row for the sixth time under Klopp, but for the first time in almost a year (games 15-19 last season).

Liverpool have 22 points after 12 games for the third time in the PL era.
In one previous instance, the last 26 games yielded 60 points.
In the other, only 30 points. pic.twitter.com/MLNdyaR1Lb— Andrew Beasley (@BassTunedToRed) November 18, 2017
