Comments:

League position: 1st Liverpool had now won their first seven games of a season in all competitions for the first time. The Reds had now kept eight consecutive clean sheets at Anfield in the Premier League. Roberto Firmino (38), Mohamed Salah (35) and Sadio Mané (27) had now scored 100 goals in the Premier League for Liverpool. This was Jürgen Klopp's 600th league game as a manager (won 296, lost 146).

Comments:

League position: 14th Southampton were now without a win in their last 25 games in the Premier League against the previous season's top six teams since beating Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane on 8 May 2016 (lost 17). Mark Hughes remained without a win in his 12 visits to Anfield as a manager in the Premier League (lost eight) and lost each of the last six. Wesley Hoedt became the first Southampton player to concede an own goal in the Premier League since Jos Hooiveld against Tottenham Hotspur on 22 December 2013.
