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.

Gol menarik Giroud bantu kemenangan 2-0 ke atas Crystal

1. Arsenal cruise to win, move back up to third place

A comfortable victory for Arsenal means they're back up to third place behind Chelsea and Liverpool at the Premier League's midpoint. This was a quietly impressive display from the Gunners lit up by a moment of magic from Olivier Giroud to open the scoring.

On paper, this looked like a peculiar Arsenal side. Without Mesut Ozil, who is ill and also likely to miss the team's midweek trip to Bournemouth, there was an unusual lack of creativity in the side. Alex Iwobi was handed Ozil's No. 10 role while Alexis Sanchez and Lucas Perez played on the flanks, with Giroud retained up front after his winner against West Brom on Boxing Day.
