Moses' Liverpool suffers first defeat of the season

Liverpool featuring Nigeria international Victor Moses suffered their first defeat of the season as a Dejan Lovren goal gave Southampton victory at Anfield.

Even so, Liverpool were the first to go close, Steven Gerrard's 25-yard free-kick being palmed wide by keeper Artur Boruc at full stretch.

And the home side gradually began to exert some pressure, with Reds forward Iago Aspas releasing Victor Moses, but left-back Luke Shaw intervened with a well-timed tackle as the former Chelsea man prepared to chip the on-rushing Boruc.

The hosts then thought they should have had a penalty when centre-back Lovren appeared to clip Sturridge in the area, before Moses went close when he nutmegged centre-back Jose Fonte, only to see his poked shot saved by Boruc.

It was the Super Eagles wingers's second game of the season since pitching tent with the Anfield giants.
