We 100% agree with what Pearce said. Liverpool’s number 38 was absolutely brilliant against Southampton. Just like it has been all season.
The standout moment was obviously a stunning assist for Salah, and he pulled off another huge achievement as he holds the record for every minute played in the Premier League in the current campaign.
