Southampton 0-0 Liverpool: Twitter Reacts As Reds Held At St Mary's 1

Liverpool squandered a good chance of extending their lead to four points at the top when they failed to break a resilient Southampton defence and could only manage a goalless stalemate.

After scoring 12 goals in their last three games, expectations were high from Jurgen Klopp’s men against the home team, which had lost its previous two games. In an otherwise uneventful first half, Sadio Mane came close to scoring against his former employers in the 28th minute but was denied by a brilliant save from Fraser Forster. The story remained same in the second half too as the visitors failed to convert a string of chances.  Roberto Firmino and Nathaniel Clyne came close to open the scoring early in the second half as the league leaders upped their efforts. The visitors got few more chances but the Saints held on to earn a valuable point.

The Merseyside outfit is still leading the table by goal difference but third-ranked Chelsea can topple them with a win over Middlesbrough on Sunday.
