Nogometaši Southamptona šokirali su na svom St. Mary's stadionu vodeći Liverpool svladavši aktualne prvake Engleske s 1-0. Pogodak vrijedan tri boda postigao je Danny Ings odlično izvedenim lobom već u 2. minuti utakmice.
Koliko god se trudili, izabranici Jurgena Kloppa nisu uspjeli doći do izjednačujućeg pogotka te su drugu utakmicu zaredom ostali bez postignutog gola, a u posljednje tri utakmice osvojili su svega dva boda. Iako Liverpool opet pada u formi, nikako se ne smije umanjiti sjajno postavljena utakmica i odličan posao koji ove sezone radi trener Southamptona, Austrijanac, Ralph Hasenhuttl.
Trener Hasenhuttl vrlo je emotivno proživio ovu veliku pobjedu protiv aktualnog prvaka Engleske pa se na kraju utakmice potpuno slomio. Pao je na koljena i počeo plakati, a u jednom trenutku čak ga je i sam Klopp došao smiriti. Prizor kakav doista rijetko možemo vidjeti u današnjem nogometu, toliko emocija i toliko sreće zbog jedne prvenstvene pobjede.
