Manchester United in 1993\/94 are the only side to better Liverpool's lead, holding a nine-point advantage at the same stage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Incredibly, Sir Alex Ferguson's men boasted the same amount of points, with 31, and goal difference (16) as Liverpool this season under new head coach Arne Slot, as per Premier League stats.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Dominik Szoboszlai\u2019s opening goal had been overturned by strikes for the hosts from Adam Armstrong and Mateus Fernandes. But Mohamed Salah brought the visitors level from Ryan Gravenberch\u2019s assist and then thumped in an 83rd-minute penalty to clinch the result for Arne Slot\u2019s side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019m glad we managed to win the game, that\u2019s the most important thing. Each game is different. They have a game plan, they played very well and they managed to score early [in the second half] but we also managed to come back in the game and win the game,\" Salah told Sky Sports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI think we had a good game plan, we tried to play our game and I was confident we were going to have chances. The only focus in my head at that time was to focus on using the opportunities to score.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The victory at Southampton also meant that Slot became only the third manager ever to achieve 10 wins in as few as 12 matches from the start of their career in the Premier League, along with Guus Hiddink and Carlo Ancelotti, both for Chelsea.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Liverpool\u2019s 10th win in 12 Premier League matches so far this season extended their advantage at the summit ahead of hosting reigning champions Manchester City next Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
