After City's 3-1 win over Everton on Saturday, Juergen Klopp's side rose to the challenge with two second-half goals from substitute Xherdan Shaqiri. The win puts Liverpool on 45 points from 17 games, with Man City on 44 and Tottenham Hotspur third on 39. Eden Hazard starred in Chelsea's win at Brighton, setting up the first goal for Pedro and scoring the second himself. Manager Maurizio Sarri agreed that the last few minutes were difficult, however, after the home side revived and scored through Solly March. It was Southampton's first win since Sept. 1, achieved in new manager Ralph Hasenhuettl's first home game.
