It's all about Salah in Liverpool, the Reds reclaim top spot

CARIO - 8 April 2019: Liverpool succeeded to reclaim the Premier League top spot thanks to late goals from Mohamed Salah and Jordan Henderson in the 3-1 victory against Southampton in the 33rd round on Friday night.

With games running out, they lead City by two points, although Pep Guardiola's champions have a game in hand.

Salah finally shined again when he scored his 50th goal for Liverpool in the 80th minute of the game. Salah is now the fastest Liverpool player to score 50 league goals, as he scored 50 goals in only 69 games.

"It was very big. Every game is massive. We've got to win every game. I thought we showed great character in the first half," Henderson told Sky Sports. "It was a big performance in the second half and a big result."

Liverpool needed a stoppage-time winner to beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 at Anfield last weekend and they were forced to do things the hard way again at St Mary's.
