Key note: “Liverpool really turned on the style and gave their fans plenty of confidence for next week’s Cup Final, with a magnificent performance at Anfield against Southampton to-day. With Toshack repeatedly out-jumping the Southampton defence, Liverpool tore the Saints apart and in those first 45 minutes should have scored more than the brilliant effort by Emlyn Hughes.” (Liverpool Echo: May 1, 1971)
