Salah sends Liverpool 16 points clear, Hudson-Odoi helps Forest beat City
Gulf Today
|March 09, 2025
Premier League leaders Liverpool needed two Mohamed Salah penalties to beat bottom-of-the-table Southampton 3-1 on Saturday, while Nottingham Forest took a giant step towards the Champions League with a 1-0 win over Manchester City.

Liverpool stretched their lead at the top to a massive 16 points, despite a sloppy first 45 minutes.
Fresh from a smash-and-grab 1-O Champions League victory over Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool boss Arne Slot made just three changes.
However, the Dutchman was forced into making three half-time alterations to kickstart the champions-elect.
Southampton have taken just nine points from 28 games all season, but stunned Anfield when Will Smallbone fired the visitors in front in first-half stoppage time.
Alisson Becker was Liverpool's hero at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday but the Brazilian and Virgil van Dijk got in each other’s way to allow Smallbone to roll into an unguarded net.
Slot turned to Harvey Elliott, Alexis MacAllister and Andy Robertson at the break, and the changes had the desired effect with two goals in three minutes before the hour mark.
Darwin Nunez levelled with a sharp near-post finish from Luis Diaz's cross.
Nunez was then upended inside the area and Salah converted from the spot.

Banks to be affected by H-1B system overhaul
The Trump administration's overhaul of the H-IB system could have an outsized impact on the finance industry, which could face hiring challenges following the imposition of the new $100,000 fee. Financial firms are among the largest users of H-IB visas, employment-based visas awarded by an annual lottery, although their usage is dwarfed by tech companies, reported Reuters. In 2025, the 10 top US financial firms received about 12,000 H-IB visas, according to government data, with JPM the biggest by far with 2,440.
