A brace by Olufela Olomola and goals from Sims and Hesketh sealed the win for the Saints, while Ings scored the Reds solitary goal in the 35th minute.

Liverpool threatened to fight back until Olomola restored Southampton’s two-goal advantage in the 52nd minute when he fired home from close range off a corner kick by Thomas O’Connor.

On 69 minutes, the former Arsenal youth-teamer grabbed his brace, netting with a brilliant finish into the top corner.
