Liverpool overcame a first-half deficit to secure a 3-1 comeback win over Southampton on Saturday at Anfield. Despite the victory, manager Arne Slot admitted the performance lacked the level of intensity he expected.
Southampton stunned the home crowd with a goal in first-half stoppage time, raising concerns that the match could turn into a trap game for the Reds, who may have been looking ahead to Tuesday’s Champions League second-leg clash against Paris Saint-Germain.
However, Liverpool responded strongly after the break, netting three unanswered goals to seal the win. Darwin Nunez leveled the score early in the second half before Mohamed Salah took over, bagging a brace to complete the comeback.
The Reds will now aim to carry that momentum into Tuesday’s decisive clash as PSG visit Anfield, hoping to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg.

Looking ahead to the final 90 minutes, Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson acknowledged the challenge ahead, admitting the Reds have yet to face a team as strong as PSG this season. Luis Enrique’s squad left a strong impression in the first leg, pushing the Premier League leaders to their limits.
“They showed how good they can be, an exceptional team – probably the best we have played this season,” the Scottish international tells the [Liverpool Echo.](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/thats-no-disrespect-andy-robertson-31161381) “We will have to play better as we can’t rely on Alisson playing the game of his life every game.
“Of course. It’s a game we’re not overly-used to in terms of how big the difference in possession was, how many shots they had and how many shots we had.”
