EFL Cup semi-final: Nathan Redmond gives Saints first-leg advantage

Southampton 1 - 0 Liverpool (Nathan Redmond, 20 min)


This was about Redmond and not the Red Men - or rather the 
‘toxic thunder’ men as Liverpool’s lurid third kit is officially known – as Southampton claimed a vital lead in the first leg of this EFL semi-final.

With a second leg to come at Anfield then Liverpool are most definitely still in this tie and will be confident of over-turning this deficit at home – and with Jürgen Klopp hoping to protect a record of never having lost a semi-final – but they were overwhelmed at times by a vibrant, rejuvenated Southampton who struck the only goal through Nathan Redmond.
