In that game, Southampton managed 32% possession and 7 attempts at goal with 3 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Southampton was Danny Ings (2'). For their opponents, Liverpool had 16 shots at goal with 1 on target.
Their latest results reveal that not much more can be done by the Southampton backline. The Saints have been mean at the back, seeing the total number of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their past 6 outings standing at 2. It will be interesting to find out if that trend can be continued on into this next match.
