Liverpool Draw Southampton in a Performance that Caps a Terrible Season for 'The Reds'
Liverpool ended the season on a low, drawing 4-4 with Southampton. Liverpool have failed to resuscitate their squad this season, floundering for the most part. Drawing the last team in the Premier League is no achievement for a team that lifted the league title just two seasons ago. Liverpool now end the EPL 2022-23 season in fifth place with 67 points and will go on to the Europa League.
