Full time at the Amex and Anfield
Liverpool have won 3-1 against Southampton to move 16 points clear at the top of Premier League, with nine games left.
Meanwhile, Brighton’s last-gasp 2-1 win against Fulham at the Amex Stadium takes the home side up to sixth, just one point away from Manchester City, in fourth.
GOAL! Palace 1 Ipswich 0 - Sarr
Palace finally have their breakthrough in this encounter, and it’s Ismaila Sarr who gets onto the scoresheet, bursting past opposing defender Jacob Greaves before coolly dinking the ball over Palmer to give the home side the lead.

You could be forgiven for thinking Liverpool were deliberately awful in the first time to wake themselves and everyone inside Anfield up. Nunez has now scored and won a penalty.
Salah has put the league leaders in control, the Kop is bouncing and somehow everyone is where they expected to be at 3pm via a strange diversion.
GOAL! Liverpool 2 Southampton 1 - Salah
A dreadful two minutes for Southampton, as they now concede a penalty to Liverpool after Smallbone trips Nunez in the penalty area.
Salah then fires his penalty high above Ramsdale’s diving frame to put the home side in front.

Any shouts on the biggest shock results in Premier League history? Southampton’s Will Smallbone is smelling it after putting his side ahead.
Liverpool have paid a price for playing like a side trying to win this game in first gear - everything has been far too slow as if there is a belief a goal is inevitable.
When they quicken the pace they are obviously more dangerous, but that’s been rare in the first half. The best chances have fallen to Nunez, and not for the first time he has lacked the finesse to take them.
He has also been booked on the stroke of half-time Slot probably has to make changes at half-time, starting with Nunez who has been dire.
