It broke loose in extra time in the first half. A misunderstanding in Liverpool's defense line allowed Will Smallbone to shock Anfield and give Premier League bottom team Southampton the lead.
And just minutes later, Darwin Núñez was VAR-checked for a red card, which instead resulted in a yellow.
Luck was on their side, as in the second half it was he who would be behind the turnaround.
The Uruguayan, who has been criticized for his poor form this season, first fixed the equalizer when he tapped in 1-1 from close range. And the 25-year-old let the away fans know how he felt about them when he clearly looked at the away section and hissed. And just a minute later, Núñez set up the penalty, which Mohamed Salah scored.
The final score was 3-1, and Liverpool now have 16 points down to second-placed Arsenal, but with one more game played.
