Loic Remy, right, added a second before half-time then Curtis Davies, left, pulled one back the other side of half-time. However on the 55th minute the visitor's two goal cushion was restored when Sissoko bagged his second Photograph: Matthew Lewis/Getty Images

There's a big ho-ha up at Hull between Hull's David Meyler and Newcastle boss Alan Pardew. There seems to have been a bit of an argument between the pair moments, then Meyler went to retrieve went to the Newcastle technical area to retrieve the ball for a throw-in and was head-butted by Pardew!

David Meyler is rightly incensed and had be restrained by fourth official Howard Webb and then Pardew was sent into the stands Photograph: Matthew Lewis/Getty Images

In the last minute Vurnon Anita finished at the back post after Allan McGregor pushed Paul Dummett's effort into his path. Final score: Hull City 1-4 Newcastle United Photograph: Tony Marshall/Getty Images

With fourteen minutes to go Jonathan Walters's cross is blocked by Laurent Koscielny's arm and the referee points to the spot. Walters steps up and sends Wojciech Szczesny the wrong way Photograph: Matthew Childs/Action Images

It's no wonder Walters is happy to have scored, he's missed four of his previous six penalties Photograph: Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil came off the bench in the second half and came close to equalising eight minutes from the end but his shot went agonisingly wide Photograph: Andrew Yates/AFP/Getty Images

Yaya Sanogo also missed a chance to equalise when he fired over from eight yards during stoppage time. With Arsenal having won only one of their past Premier League games, Arsene Wenger has some work to do to ensure that his side don't slip even further behind Chelsea in the race for the title.

It’s Suarez’s 100th appearance in the league for Liverpool, and he’s celebrates it by ending his goal drought. When the ball broke to him 12 yards out he passed the ball into the bottom right Photograph: Tony O'Brien/Action Images

Liverpools goal not withstanding Southampton are the stronger of the two sides and hit the post as well as spurning a number of chances to equalise. However Liverpool go in one goal to the good at half-time Photograph: John Powell/Getty Images

Just before the hour mark Raheem Sterling doubles Liverpool lead. A ball is rolled down the inside-right channel for Suarez, who spins and leaves a flat-footed Lovren behind. He zips into the box and whips a low pass into the centre, where Sterling sidefoots the ball home Photograph: John Powell/Getty Images

It's no wonder Sterling looks pleased, the substitute had only been on the park less than two minutes Photograph: Andrew Powell/Getty Images

Southampton's Dejan Lovren clears the ball away from the danger area Photograph: Glyn Kirk/AFP/Getty Images

Deep in injury time Suarez chases a long ball down the inside left. He twists and turns, and as he attempts to go past Jose Fonte, the Soton defender clips him and Suarez tumbles to the turf. The referee points to the spot Photograph: Andrew Powell/Liverpool FC via Getty Images

The Liverpool players were treated to a chorus of "We're going to win the league" by their fans late in the game. Despite not playing their best Liverpool came away from a very tricky venue with three goals and three points that moves them above Arsenal into second spot and into the title race.
