Agger header enough against Saints

Defender Daniel Agger's first goal of the season ensured Liverpool returned to winning ways as they recorded a 1-0 win at home to Southampton but they made hard work of the victory.

The Denmark international powered home a header just before half-time, only his fifth in 133 Premier League appearances, after a host of chances had gone begging.

In doing so he helped the Reds to only their third home win of the season and back-to-back league wins at Anfield for the first time since September 2011.
