Southampton hold Liverpool to goalless draw as Milner misses penalty

Liverpool surrendered ground in the race for Champions League qualification with a goalless draw against Southampton.

Jurgen Klopp’s side had looked set for a nerve-settling breakthrough when Jack Stephens handled in the box in the second half.

But James Milner who had never missed from the spot for his club – was this time denied by Fraser Forster in the 66th minute.
