Escape act
But Roberto Firmino equalised before the break and forward Diogo Jota completed the escape act with his second goal since signing from Wolves in September.

Everton finally beaten
Meanwhile, Southampton ended Everton's unbeaten start to the season as goals from James Ward-Prowse and Che Adams sealed a 2-0 win against the Premier League leaders on Sunday.
