Jürgen Klopp has described Champions League qualification as unlikely for Liverpool. The Premier League champions, for a few more days at least, can sniff blood in the form of Brendan Rodgers’ faltering fourth-placed team. Forster, recalled in place of Alex McCarthy, produced a solid display in the Southampton goal. The breakthrough was the first time that Salah and Mané had combined for a goal in the Premier League this season, surprisingly. The final word belonged to Thiago, however, who swept home his first Liverpool goal from 20 yards after substitute Roberto Firmino had forced an error from Kyle Walker-Peters.
