Twitter Reacts as Origi Scores 3 in Liverpool's 6-1 Cup Win over Southampton

Liverpool made the trip south on Wednesday night to face Southampton in the quarter-finals of the Capital One Cup.

Jurgen Klopp's side were looking to join Everton, Manchester City and Stoke in the last four but were dealt a blow after just 30 seconds when Sadio Mane nodded the home side in front...

Youngster Connor Randall endured a horror opening as Southampton looked to add to their advantage...

"

Seriously, what is a Randall?

Liverpool's Dejan Lovren, a former Southampton player, wasn't having the best time of it either...

The Lovren abuse is so harsh, wish he was good enough to have a song for Liverpool

But the Reds equalised in the first half through a rare goal by a fit-again Daniel Sturridge...

Daniel Sturridge is back! https://t.co/BgrAIwT6BY

The England striker added another shortly after to reverse the early deficit...

Naturally Sturridge was already being compared with another England striker...

Everyone was salivating over Emre Can's assist for Sturridge's second...

"

What a pass that is from Emre Can. Been poor so far but all forgiven as he delivers with outside of right boot for Sturridge to make it 2-1.

...meanwhile, Liverpool added a third in stoppage time at the end of the first half through Alberto Moreno's thumping drive.

But unfortunately for the Real Madrid target, his shot took the slightest of deflections off Divock Origi...

While Origi was copping a fair bit of stick for his first, there were no complaints over his second with just over 20 minutes to play...

"

Origi looks a different player

And shortly after Jordon Ibe completed the rout for Liverpool after some excellent work in the build-up by—you guessed it—Origi...

That some of Liverpool's fringe players were getting in on the act had fans once again showering the manager with praise...

The chorus was only getting louder as Origi nodded home a Brad Smith cross to complete his hat-trick in the dying stages...

"

Forgive me. Origi is a boss. Just needed the right manager, and one who loves all his players equally.

Divock Origi > Anthony Martial

Origi there, showing why Lukaku still has some catching up to do take over his place as Belgiums 2nd striker behind Benteke.

It finished 6-1, with Liverpool sending a warning sign across the Premier League by reaching the League Cup semi-finals in emphatic fashion...
