‘That's proven to be the case’: Shearer sends reminder about Liverpool

Alan Shearer has said on Premier League Productions that he was right about Liverpool against Southampton.

The former Southampton striker said before the game that it was going to be hard for the Saints to keep the Liverpool forwards under check.

And the BBC Sport and Premier League Productions pundit said during the match that he was right.

Liverpool hammered Southampton 4-0 at Anfield in the Premier League this afternoon.

Diogo Jota scored twice, and Thiago and Virgil van Dijk scored a goal each.

Alan Shearer’s Liverpool verdict

Shearer said on Premier League Productions: “Fantastic going forward.

“We said before the game it would be very difficult for Southampton and that’s proven to be the case.

“As a forward you’ve just got to hang around that six-yard box. Liverpool have been absolutely magnificent in forward areas.”

Let’s be honest.

We all knew that Liverpool were going to win against Southampton at Anfield this afternoon.

It was a matter of by how many goals.

Liverpool were the better team from start to finish and deservedly picked up all three points from the encounter against Southampton today.

Jurgen Klopp’s side’s march towards the Premier League title continues.

The Reds will be very encouraged to keep a clean sheet.

Liverpool have not been at their best defensively, this season.

And not conceding any goal against Southampton is certainly a good sign.
