Liverpool’s experimental XI conquered Southampton in a 2-1 thriller. Alexander Isak netted his debut goal, while Hugo Ekitike’s late strike secured the win before his dramatic red card. Despite a shaky, makeshift defense, the Reds outmaneuvered Juric’s rigid 5-4-1 block. It was a high-stakes tactical gamble that proved Liverpool’s squad depth is lethal, even when playing with ten men at Anfield.
