Jurgen Klopp’s men went into the clash at Vicarage Road on the back of 18 successive league wins, one short of a new record, but the bright Hornets were thoroughly deserving of the victory to boost their survival hopes.
Watford’s promising start looked as though it might go to waste when Gerard Deulofeu – their chief threat – was forced off with a potentially significant knee problem before half-time.
Watford were unlucky to not lead just before half-time – Alisson making a mess of a routine collection, but Deeney failed to capitalise.
Liverpool failed to improve after the interval and Watford eventually got a deserved opener, as Abdoulaye Doucoure latched on to a throw-in and lashed the ball into the danger zone for Sarr to prod home.
The winger got a second in even more impressive circumstances soon after, chasing Deeney’s brilliant throughball behind Van Dijk and cheekily lifting his finish over the approaching Alisson.
One would say that Watford brought fought their anger after Manchester united dusted them in their previous game but 3-0 was a huge point as it wasn’t expected from a relationed placed team Watford.
