Liverpool 3 Southampto­n 0

LIVERPOOL’S seventh victory of the season was a demolition job on Southampto­n.

Jurgen Klopp’s side are six out of six in the Premier League and have chalked up 17 goals in all competitio­ns thanks to their 3-2 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

Even Klopp admitted he was “surprised” by the historic run as the Anfield side extended their best ever start to a Premier League season.

He said: “I lost one time in my life seven games in a row and JOSE MOURINHO blasted his players’ mentality after they fell further behind in the title race with a drab draw at home to Wolves.

With emotions running high at Old Trafford after the surprise return of Sir Alex Ferguson following lifethreat­ening brain surgery, United fell eight points behind title rivals Liverpool. Mourinho did not disguise his anger afterwards. He said: “The result was fair. NEIL MOXLEY Man United 1 Wolves 1

They deserved their point – we deserve the punishment of only getting one. I don’t know why but they were more motivated.

“I could say we were tired, that it was the Champions League – an awful pitch. That the body suffers an impact on artificial rather than actual grass. I could go in this direction.

“But Alexis Sanchez and Jesse Lingard didn’t play. Fred played for 60 minutes, Fellaini as sub.

“Yes, it’s a mental situation. An attitude.

“One team was coming to play the game of their lives, the other to relax.”
