Arne Slot issues warning to Liverpool stars after rollercoaster victory over Southampton sent Reds eight points clear of Man City at the top of the Premier League

Arne Slot has dismissed the notion that Liverpool will get carried away with being eight points clear in the Premier League title race.

Mo Salah scored twice as the Reds fought from 2-1 down to beat a spirited Southampton side, who led after Mateus Fernandes and Adam Armstrong cancelled out Dominik Szoboszlai’s opener.

With Manchester City slumping, it means Liverpool have breathing space at the summit ahead of a titanic tussle between the two teams at Anfield on Sunday. But Slot says his team are keeping level headed.
