Takumi Minamino and Roberto Firmino received special praise from Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl following Liverpool 's 2-1 victory over his side on Tuesday.
A much-changed Reds team got the job done on the south coast to take the Premier League title race to the final day and make Manchester City sweat. Former Southampton loanee Minamino was joined by Joel Matip on the scoresheet, as Jurgen Klopp 's men had to come from behind after Nathan Redmond opened the scoring in the 13th minute.
Post-match, Hasenhuttl waxed lyrical about Liverpool's star-studded squad, despite Klopp making nine changes from their thrilling FA Cup final win against Chelsea last Saturday. "I think we have played against a good team that made a lot of changes but still has a lot of quality upfront," the Saints boss told reporters. "You could see it. I would have done the same (made a lot of changes) to be honest.
