VIDEO: Christian Benteke comes back from injury with sunning goal to give Liverpool lead

We knew the Liverpool attack would pick up a little bit but things really got going almost instantly. Christian Benteke came back from injury and man did he come back with a vengeance. Off of a perfectly placed deep cross by James Milner, Benteke headed the ball into the top right corner of the goal to give Liverpool the lead 1-0.

Minutes later, Sadio Mane scored the equalizer to effectively ruin the party at Anfield as it ended in a 1-1 draw but for a few minutes, everyone (except for the visiting Southampton fans) were on their feet at Anfield.
