Liverpool snatched a 2-2 draw at St Mary's Stadium as Harry Wilson's late double dented Southampton's hopes of securing Division 1 safety.
A Saints team featuring Jeremy Pied (pictured above) on his return from injury, Martin Caceres, Josh Sims and Sam McQueen went ahead when Alfie Jones netted from close range after Pied’s wonderful cross.
Olufela Olomola netted a fine second after the break, before Wilson pulled one back with a curling strike in the 76th minute and then tucked in the rebound after his stoppage-time penalty was saved by Mouez Hassen.
