Sir Alex Ferguson: Liverpool's thrilling 3-2 comeback win at Southampton moved the Reds eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table, making it the second-biggest lead ever by a team after playing 12 matches.

Manchester United in 1993/94 are the only side to better Liverpool's lead, holding a nine-point advantage at the same stage.

Incredibly, Sir Alex Ferguson's men boasted the same amount of points, with 31, and goal difference (16) as Liverpool this season under new head coach Arne Slot, as per Premier League stats.
