Liverpool's quadruple dream is still alive.
After Manchester City stumbled and finished just 2-2 against West Ham earlier this week, Jürgen Klopp's hot team kept alive the championship battle tonight (Tuesday) after beating Southampton 1-2 away in the penultimate round of the Premier League.
Meaning: The decision has been made for the dramatic final round this coming Sunday, which will lead Manchester City by a fragile one-point advantage.
Three days after the English Cup won by the Mighty Reds and with a clear thought to keep the stars ahead of next Saturday's Champions League final against Real Madrid, Jürgen Klopp chose to make a big revolution in the squad with nine changes, but even though the German seemed to give up the match in advance, Liverpool proved a lot of character With an important foreign victory.

Already after 13 minutes, the Saints took a quick lead.
Jota doubtfully failed, but the ball had already passed to the feet of Nathan Redmond, who burst from the left and from 16 sent a spinning ball to Allison's connections.
Liverpool in shock.
18 minutes later and after massive pressure from the visitors, justice was done and Liverpool equalized to 1: 1: this time Joe Gomez put a ball to Diego Jote, who dropped with a touch and Tacomi Minamino continued from a hard angle to the net of the Saints.
In the 67th minute, the turnaround in yellow was completed after the host defense had a hard time clearing a simple ball, which went to Matip's head and from there straight to McCarthy's net.
Now all that remains is to wait for the big Sunday.
