Liverpool climbed back up to third in the Premier League with a 2-0 victory at Southampton that left Mauricio Pellegrino under renewed pressure and his in the relegation zone.
The home supporters again turned on their manager after their latest defeat, secured by goals from Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah, left them in 18th place and took their visitors back above Tottenham.
It also ensured a victorious return to St Mary's for Virgil van Dijk, the £75m defender who left for Liverpool during the January transfer window.
The pressure on the hosts had increased with earlier victories for Newcastle and Huddersfield, over Manchester United and Bournemouth respectively, that left Saints back in the bottom three.
