The battles of the new season continue in the English "Premier" league. On Sunday, the "Liverpool" club was thrown off balance by the conquering "Southampton" club. At the "Anfield" stadium, led by Brendan Rodgers, the team managed to defeat the visitors after a fierce battle, with a result of 2-1, and secured their first victory of the season. The first half began with dominance by the "reds". Already in the 23rd minute, a goal was scored against the "Southampton" team, when Raheem Sterling scored after a wonderful pass from Jordan Henderson. Throughout the rest of the first half, no more dangerous opportunities were created that would result in a goal. The whole battle shifted to the second half, which started successfully for the guests. This time, Dusan Tadic slipped through, providing an excellent pass to Nathaniel Clyne in the penalty area, and with a powerful shot, he beat Simon Mignolet. After the equalizing goal, the "Southampton" players did not calm down and continued to press the English vice-champions. However, as the end of the match approached, they received a painful blow. In the 79th minute, after a pass from the right side, R. Sterling created an opportunity for Daniel Sturridge, who scored his first goal, expanding the lead for the "Liverpool" club. In the later matches at the "St. James Park" stadium, the newcomers-filled "Newcastle United" team faced the defending champions "Manchester City" team. As expected, Manuel Pellegrini's students were the first to score in this match. This happened in the 38th minute, when David Silva sent the ball into the net after a beautiful pass from Edin Dzeko. In the second half of the game, the hosts led by Alan Pardew also had opportunities to equalize the score. At the end of the match, Ayoze Perez and Moussa Sissoko missed great chances, while Sergio Aguero did not make a mistake and sealed the victory in the tough match.
