Liverpool continued their impressive scoring rate to sweep aside Southampton 4-0 at Anfield.

Here are five things we learned from the match on Saturday afternoon:

Liverpool closed the gap on Premier League leaders Chelsea as they cruised to a 4-0 win over a disjointed Southampton side at Anfield.

Here’s how the players all rated:

Norwich and Wolves share a point as the match at Carrow Road finished goalless and Aston Villa have defeated Crystal Palace 2-1 away from home courtesy of goals from Matt Targett and John McGinn. Marc Guehi scored five minutes into added time to earn a consolation goal for Palace.

90+2 mins: There’s the final whistle! Liverpool have swept Southampton aside at Anfield with goals from Diogo Jota, Thiago Alcantara and Virgil van Dijk. The Reds are up to second in the table just one point behind league leaders Chelsea.

90 mins: Just two minutes of added time to play at Anfield.

86 mins: Finally another goal elsewhere. John McGinn seems to have secured the points for Aston Villa with a fine strike from the right side of the box. It’s somewhat against the run of play but Villa double their lead and Steven Gerrard’s looking at two wins from two as Villa boss.

86 mins: Liverpool have fully taken a step back. The game is done, they’ve got the points secured. James Ward-Prowse takes quick free kick and plays Nathan Tella into the left side of the box. He drives into the area and squares the ball but there’s no-one to receive it and it goes out for a goal kick.
