SOUTHAMPTON PULLED OFF a second-half comeback against Liverpool on Sunday, coming from two goals down to claim a remarkable win.
Philippe Coutinho and Daniel Sturridge scored, with Joe Allen having an effort ruled out for offside, in a first half dominated by Liverpool as Southampton looked all at sea.
Victor Wanyama and Sadio Mane were introduced at half-time and the latter quickly had the chance to halve the deficit from the penalty spot, only for Simon Mignlet to make a fine save.
The Senegal international soon made amends, though, standing up a poor Mamadou Sakho to race through and fire past Mignolet before Graziano Pelle equalised six minutes from time.
