The Anfield Wrap

A run of the mill 0-2 win away from home? With this Liverpool team? And yet run of the mill victories have indeed become part of this season's package. Liverpool crushed Southampton's spirit just before the break and left them for dead. Virgil van Dijk enjoyed his return to his former club, Loris Karius had a very good game and Liverpool's attack are sublime. Picking the bones out of this one are Paul Senior, Fuad Hasan, Neil Jones from the Liverpool Echo, and Ian Ryan. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
