Southampton scored three unanswered second-half goals, and could even afford to miss a penalty, as they beat Liverpool 3-2 at St Mary's Stadium.

Premier League: Southampton stun Liverpool with late comeback

Liverpool lead 2-0 at halftime through a sumptuous Philippe Coutinho strike and when Daniel Sturridge finished of a counter attack five minutes later.

In the second half Sadio Mane had the perfect chance to haul Southampton back into the match, but he saw his penalty saved by Simon Mignolet.

However he made amends just after the hour mark, before Graziano Pelle equalised with a powerful 20-metre strike seven minutes from time.

And the comeback was complete when Mane scored his second, and Saints' third five minutes before the end with a precise low finish to move Southampton into seventh place on 47 points, three more than Liverpool.
