    90+2'
    Salah is through on goal only to be denied by the offside flag again.
    90+1'
    Austin has Southampton's first shot on target, a toe-poked effort that Alisson beats away at his near post.

    Two added minutes.
    89'
    Salah runs down the right and his cross causes mayhem in the box, with Milner and Firmino both having efforts denied before Salah himself eventually puts the ball in the goal, but it's correctly disallowed for offside.
    87'
    Milner tries to put Salah through on goal with a disguised free-kick but Cedric reads it.
    85'
    A scooped through ball isn't adequately cleared by Southampton, instead falling inviting for Robertson to volley from just inside the box. His effort waits a little too long to dip and goes narrowly over.
    85'
    Cedric is hobbling but Southampton have no substitutions left to make.
    83'
    Hoedt hacks clear after Keita tried to lay the ball off for Salah.
    82'
    McCarthy comes off his line to deny Mane, who had just overrun the ball.
    80'
    Salah and Firmino combine well but again the final ball isn't quite there and the Saints defence clear.
    79'
    Long, who has done very little but had no support or service, departs and Austin comes on.
    77'
    There hasn't been anything noteworthy happening in the last five minutes. Southampton lacking any ambition in possession.
    72'
    This really hasn't been a good second half. Both teams are happy with the scoreline.
    70'
    Keita comes on for Wijnaldum.

    69'
    Salah gets played in down the right and waits to pick a cross, choosing to aim for Mane, but he can't find him.
    65'
    Lemina's careless backheel presents the ball to Mane and he kickstarts a Liverpool counter-attack, however it comes to nothing.
    62'
    Back-to-back crosses from Milner and Alexander-Arnold are just about dealt with by Vestegaard and McCarthy.
    59'
    Cedric gets a cross horribly wrong and another spell of Southampton possession ends with a chance being created.
