- Southampton utilized a concussion substitution in the first half. Defender Jan Bednarek was replaced by Armel Bella-Kotchap in the 19th minute due to a head injury. This substitution, permitted under current protocols, allows teams to make an additional change beyond the standard five substitutions to prioritize player welfare. Consequently, both teams made six substitutions during the game.
Liverpool equalled a 90-year-old scoring record by
scoring two or more goals against the Saints as in their last 18 games at Anfield in all competitions. This is the longest such sequence in the English top flight since Sunderland scored two or more in 19 consecutive games in 1935.
