Right, that’s ya lot. Congrats to Liverpool. We’ll see if this win means anything come Sunday. Until then, bye!

We knew it would be difficult, a lot of changes in the team. All the lads took their opportunity tonight. Every game feels like a cup final.

City never lose. I don’t want them, the way that they play. I’d rather watch the kids channels.

Hopefully Stevie and Villa do us a favour on Sunday. I might give him a call this week.

After 90 minutes, it’s also 1-2 at the City Ground. Sheffield United have come from behind to take this into extra time. Join John Brewin here.

Good banner, this.

A reminder of where that leaves us in the table. Man-of-the-match goes to Roberto Firmino, who was very tidy with his touches, as per.

Fair play to the Reds: they did what they needed to do! We’ll go to the final day, with Liverpool just one point behind Manchester City. Woof.

90+2 min: Sustained pressure from Southampton, who are desperately throwing crosses into the box. Some nervous hacks away from Liverpool. Meanwhile, James Milner is struggling with cramp. Redmond will surely want one last chance to go at the veteran.

90 min: Three minutes added on here. Liverpool looking a little nervous for the first time in the night!

88 min: Finally, Southampton jolt into life. Just as he did in the first half, Redmond cuts in from the left and fires towards Alisson … the goalkeeper gathers at the second attempt.

85 min: Outrageous moment for Lyanco, who after dispossessing Origi, tries to flick the ball over the Belgian, but slips. The Brazilian was last man! Martin Atkinson blows for a foul, with Origi judged to have put an arm across Lyanco. Lucky boy.

82 min: “If 74% possession and 22 chances created and a goal to the good at the end of a long season is “bang-average” I’ll take that all day long,” emails Chris Healy. “I think Liverpool deserve a bit more credit.”

I don’t think anyone in the Liverpool camp would describe this as a good performance. Efficient, yes.

80 min: Saints are letting this second half pass them by. It’s turning into a very end-of-season performance.

78 min: Jones’s dribbling is a real attribute to this Liverpool midfield. Henderson, Thiago, Fabinho and Elliott are passers, but Curtis Jones really carries the ball, commits markers and breaks the lines. He’s class.

76 min: Liverpool have been bang-average tonight. Not poor, not great, but are grinding out this result. Fair play to Klopp.

74 min: Yellow card for Stephens, who hauls down Origi on the half-way line, after a neat turn from the Belgian.

72 min: Those changes already seem to have enlivened the home side. Redmond sends a dangerous cross into the box and Tsimikas does well to deflect it behind.

69 min: Double change for Southampton: Diallo and Tella off, Romeu and Armstrong on.

What a strange goal! But Liverpool won’t care! A corner comes in from the left, there’s a near-post flick and the ball seems to just hit Matip’s head, balloon up in the air and loop over McCarthy into the top corner. It might be an own goal, with Walker-Peters also challenging Matip to the ball, but they give the goal to the Liverpool defender! Liverpool are set to take the title race to the final day, if it stays like this!

65 min: Sub for Liverpool: Elliott is replaced by Origi.

62 min: Alisson gets a little lucky with a clearance! He rushes out and very nearly sweeps the ball against Ward-Prowse, but instead the ball falls safely to Elliott. Liverpool set off on the counter-attack and after a couple of neat passes, Firmono fires straight at McCarthy. “I’ve never fancied Firmino from range,” utters Jamie Carragher on Sky’s co-commentary.

59 min: Lyanco is having a very good game. Been very efficient as clearing up the loose balls.

56 min: Surely we’ll be seeing Díaz soon. Liverpool need a little lift.

54 min: Chance for Elliott! Firmino plays a lovely weighted pass down the channel and Elliott scurries after it. With the ball on his weaker right, he takes an extra stride trying to sort his feet out, taking the Liverpool man a little wider, and Elliott can only fire his shot into the side netting. Should have done better!

52 min: Tsimikas is a tidy footballer. He’s no Robertson but great to have such a dependable back up. Definitely an upgrade on Moreno.

50 min: Milner crashes into Broja and Southampton have a free-kick about 35 yards out. A little further than Ward-Prowse would like and the Saints captain opts for power, but hits his shot straight into the wall.

48 min: Tsimikas does well down the left and fires a low cross towards the penalty spot. Jota kills it stone dead and in a flash, whips a shot just past the far post! Just a yard wide. Jota’s backlift is so small, he always seems to get a shot off.

Peeeeep! We’re underway again. Liverpool need a goal!

So Liverpool will make that change. Jordan Henderson will come on for Gomez, with Milner shifting to right back.
