Team manager Jürgen Klopp and Liverpool FC took advantage of Manchester City’s little blunder and saved their chance in the fight for the English football championship. The Reds deservedly won 2-1 (1-1) at FC Southampton at the end of the 37th matchday despite being behind and moved up to one point behind leaders Manchester City (90) in the table.
This will decide the title fight on the last day of the game. Liverpool take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in the season finale on Sunday, while City host Aston Villa. The Skyblues had missed the decisive victory at West Ham (2: 2) on Sunday.
Former Southampton professional Takumi Minamino (27th) and Joel Matip (67th) with a header turned the game for clearly superior Liverpool. Nathan Redmond (13th) surprisingly gave Southampton the lead with a remarkable long-range shot.
By winning the League Cup, the FA Cup and reaching the Champions League final, Liverpool is still able to make the quadruple.
