After taking the lead through Dominik Szoboszlai's early strike, Liverpool were rocked by Adam Armstrong's equaliser before Mateus Fernandes put bottom of the table Southampton ahead in the second half.
As he has so often done before, Salah came to Liverpool's rescue with a typically predatory equaliser and a coolly converted penalty in the closing stages.
