LIVERPOOL, England — Mohamed Salah’s skilful performance inspired Liverpool to a 3-0 victory over Southampton on Saturday, with two goals sending the Egyptian to the top of the Premier League scoring standings. The 25-year-old Salah has now scored nine goals in his first 12 Premier League matches, breaking the club’s previous best held by Robbie Fowler. Last season Coutinho was the club’s leading scorer with 14. Southampton rarely looked like preventing Liverpool keeping a fifth clean sheet in six home league matches. ——More AP Premier League coverage: http://www.apnews.com/tag/PremierLeague
