Premier League: Danny Ings early goal sinks his former club as Southampton beat Liverpool 1-0 (Highlights) 2020-2021

Liverpool slipped to a 1-0 Premier League defeat against Southampton on Monday night.

The Reds were downed by an early goal from their former striker Danny Ings at St Mary's. 

They remain top, above United on goal difference having played a game more ahead of a crunch clash between the two old rivals at Anfield on January 17.

Ings' earliest goal of his Premier League career came after Liverpool switched off from a James Ward-Prowse free-kick.

Southampton might have added to their lead before half-time, but although Jurgen Klopp's champions dominated after the restart, they could not avoid a second league defeat of the season.
