The Brazilian looked to have claimed a deserved victory for City right at the death of an intriguing Premier League clash but his late strike was ruled out for a handball by Aymeric Laporte. The scenes as the goal was chalked off were reminiscent of the dramatic ending to last season's Champions League tie between the two sides at the same venue last season.
The ruling made the encounter extra frustrating for City, who had completely dominated proceedings and racked up 30 shots to the visitors' three.

The visitors are dominant in the early stages, controlling possession and attacking with penetration. Alexander-Arnold is sent clear down the right and sees a cross blocked behind for a corner. The set piece comes to nothing.

An alarming moment of indecision from Adrian, who takes an age to clear the ball and allows Ward-Prowse to close down. Thankfully for the Liverpool goalkeeper, the ball deflects wide.

Southampton have woken up. Redmond plays a superb ball over the top for Adams, who almost rounds Adrian. But Van Dijk does just enough to deny the forward a clear path to goal.

Lovely work from Salah, who makes a run down the right flank and backheels the ball into the path of Oxlade-Chamberlain. The midfielder shoots from just inside the box but drags his effort wide of the far post.

There's a pause in play after a clash of heads between Milner and Ward-Prowse. The former has come off worse, and needs stitches to stop the bleeding.

Romeu does brilliantly to dispossess Salah and pick out Redmond, who sets off towards Liverpool's box. Oxlade-Chamberlain tracks back and stops the cross, and the corner that follows is drilled agonisingly across the face of goal and wide by Vestergaard.

More nervousness at the back for Liverpool. Matip attempts to guide a long ball back to his goalkeeper but gets way too much on the header. It flies just wide.

What a save! Adrian makes a fine stop from close range to deny Yoshida, who meets a Ward-Prowse corner from just a few yards out and powers a header towards goal. Somehow, it doesn't find the net. Southampton are on top at the moment.

The hosts are rampant and the fans are responding. Adrian gives the ball away with another questionable clearance, which allows Southampton to force another corner. This time, it's cleared by Liverpool, who now have Milner, stitched up and bandaged, back on the pitch.
