EPL: James Milner misses penalty as Liverpool held to goalless draw vs Southampton

Liverpool's James Milner missed a penalty as his side wasted a chance to bolster their bid to qualify for the Champions League in an uninspiring 0-0 draw with Southampton yesterday.

Jurgen Klopp's team had a golden opportunity to seize the initiative in the race for a top-four finish. But the Reds never got out of first gear at Anfield in a terrible contest best remembered for Fraser Forster's brilliant penalty save from Liverpool skipper Milner. Liverpool moved above Manchester City into third place.
