Ralph Hasenhuttl has really got this Southampton side playing.

The hosts have only lost one of their past 11 league games and scored at least twice in each of their last seven Premier League home games.

Firing.

Right, will bring you more reaction from that when it drops. Best start looking at the next game.

Wait until you see what they announce later, Jurgen.

Liverpool

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp on Sadio Mane's reaction to being subbed off:

"He wasn’t angry because Mo (Salah) came on, maybe because he didn’t stay on till after the free kick. You cannot do everything, they are human beings, but after the game he reacted fine, it was all good.

"Christmas will be good, but the season is not finished, there are a few games to come but we will be ready."

Liverpool

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp to BT Sport: "It was hard work, a lot of counter attack from Crystal Palace in the first half where we needed a toe or a foot to defend. Our finishing in the first half was clinical. Then, 3-0 up at half time the game is not finished but we controlled the game and scored wonderful goals.

"The boys are capable (of this) but it doesn’t happen every week. Today it clicked. This is a very intense period, the boys should be very proud of it. We take a day off tomorrow, then prepare for West Brom, and goal difference wise it is good because of the funny result at Villa."

This was Jurgen Klopp’s 127th victory as Liverpool boss in the Premier League, overtaking Rafael Benitez (126) as the Reds boss with the most wins in Premier League history.

James Parrish: When was the last time a team scored seven in one match and conceded seven in one match in the same season?

There you go James.

I always thought Liverpool were favourites to win the title again this season and they have just shown their quality today. It's a real statement today by Liverpool. Teams like this don't lose or draw two games in a row.

Thanks Tom. Always love seeing your enjoyment at pulling the brackets out.

Liverpool already six points clear, that's only going to increase from now until May isn't it?

There'll be more reaction to come from Selhurst Park but here in the hot seat to take you through the Southampton v Man City game is Shamoon Hafez...

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson speaking to BT Sport: "I thought we were ruthless today and took our chances which is always important. We dominated the game for large periods but I still thought we were sloppy at times. Overall, we're delighted with the performance. To finish this week off with the win after midweek is important and we managed to do that.

"It was coming I felt as over the last few games we have had chances and not taken them which has cost us at times."

Was it Liverpool's best performance this season?

"In some ways but we don't just look at the scoreline. I thought we were very good midweek and again today so we just need to keep the momemtum going and work hard.

"In the first half they had one or two half chances - a little on the counter-attack. They are always going to create something but we limited that today. We managed the game well in the second half.

"Overall, the performance level, we have to be happy. Now we have a week leading to the next game. Then another tough test again."

Liverpool only actually had 14 shots on goal in the game, eight of which were on target and seven went in.

170Out: People can claim "it's just Palace" but this is a team that held Spurs (who have title ambitions) and scored 5 last time out. Liverpool have just laid down a serious challenge!

Jordan Henderson says Liverpool 'were sloppy at times.'

Come on mate.

Turns out Christian Benteke's suspension really was bad news for Palace.

Ash Williams: There goes Spurs' goal difference advantage.

Champions mean business.

It obviously doesn't matter but I'm sure the fourth official just indicated one minute of added time. How does that work in a 7-0?

Are we all done at seven then? Going once...
