But it lacks goals. That would not be such a problem if the front three were scoring, but that is Lampard's next act. He has stabilised his side's core but both he and director of football Kevin Thelwell spent the run-up to the summer Deadline Day looking for difference-makers in the final third. Unusually, Lampard now has six weeks before business can officially be concluded to get ahead.
The outcome may have been different had one of those opportunities found the net. A goal would have certainly made for a nervy finale inside Anfield. But nobody could accuse Saints of lacking courage and there was plenty of industry too. According to Premier League tracking data, Southampton covered more ground than Liverpool (114km to 112km) and registered 157 high-intensity sprints to the hosts' 129.

Bruno, Eriksen question Qatar World Cup | 'We want it to be for everyone'World Cup team guide: United StatesBut one player that could give the England manager something to worry about is Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson, who is set to line up against the Three Lions later this month for the United States in the World Cup group stages. Robinson is heading to Qatar with the United States next week The left-back was a constant thorn in the United defence as he linked up well with Willian on Fulham's left, as Marco Silva's side targeted Tyrell Malacia playing at right-back.
He had only had one full training session with his new players following his appointment as Ralph Hasenhuttl's successor on Thursday but his impact could be seen in their performance. There was a change of system, the 49-year-old switching to a back three, the same formation he used at Luton Town, but most striking was the positivity and adventurousness of their play. Southampton attacked Liverpool from the start, striking back immediately after Roberto Firmino's opener through the excellent Che Adams and throwing bodies forward at every opportunity. There were defensive issues in the first half, when Darwin Nunez's double ultimately took the game away from them, but Southampton approached the second period with even more energy and intent, forcing a string of fine saves from Alisson.
His two goals, struck in the space of 21 second-half minutes, ensured Arsenal capitalised on Manchester City's defeat by Brentford and went five points clear at the top of the Premier League. The win capped a remarkable start to the season and Odegaard's contribution at Molineux underlines his importance to it. Arsenal's playmaker has now added goals to his game. With six, he is in fact their top scorer in the Premier League. He only needs one more to match his total for the whole of the last campaign.

Lewis JonesNunez emerging from Mane's shadow Darwin Nunez celebrates putting Liverpool back in front Many fingers pointed towards Sadio Mane's departure as one of the reasons Liverpool are not performing at the level of recent seasons this term. Liverpool 3-1 Southampton - Match report and highlightsHow the teams lined up | Match stats | Premier League tableA key figure in that argument was Mane's replacement Darwin Nunez, who was not producing the numbers despite being an £85m arrival from Benfica.

It is a squad weak on the ground and it is a group that looks jaded just 15 Premier League games into the season. Lampard has worked through the thirds.
