Southampton 0-2 Liverpool: Coutinho & Sterling ensure Rodgers' men march on

A stunning Philippe Coutinho goal set Liverpool on their way to a 2-0 victory over Southampton at a wet and windy St Mary's on Sunday.

The diminutive Brazilian fired an effort into the top corner from 35 yards in third minute amid a frantic start, before Raheem Sterling wrapped up the victory with a calm finish in the second half.

The result moves Liverpool, unbeaten in the league since mid-December, up to sixth in the table - a point behind their opponents and two shy of Manchester United in fourth.
