Southampton took a major step towards Premier League survival with an impressive 3-1 win over a lacklustre Liverpool at St Mary's.

Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino believes his side's win was fully deserved and sees the result as a reward for their recent performances. He said: "We were fully focused on the game. My team believed and we had the correct mentality to compete well today. We prepared really well for this game and we fully deserved this victory." Brendan Rodgers agreed with the Saints boss that the hosts were justified winners and the Liverpool manager admits the Reds were not at their best on Saturday. "I said before the game that this game was arguably going to be one of the toughest games for us this season and overall I can't complain," said Rodgers. "We weren't at our best and we're not the sort of team yet when, if we're not at our best, we can see through results."
