Liverpool Top Watford

It was Liverpool's final pre-christmas fixture that too Anfield and against a Watford side that's fighting relegation this season. It was anticipated as easy day out for Klopp's men but it wasn't that easy.

Liverpool had an off day today from the Start, sloppy in the field after that crucial CL fixture lads seemed bit lazy in the field.

Until it required bit of magic from Mo Salah.

Firmino's cheeky pass, Sadio's through ball and Salah's magical display of skill combined with calculated shot on the weak foot saw Liverpool go 1-0 up at the 38th minute.

But things weren't easy for the next 60 odd minutes. Watford were questioning the strength of European Champions and consistently the ones with lose chances & lose attempts. Some even tested the best of Alisson Becker.

Though all ended with a smile as Salah nutmegs Watford defender with a no look cheeky backheel shot to take the brace out of the game.

The only concern today will be Gini Wijnaldum. His injury concern will have worried most of the fanatics as he has been the workhorse for Liverpool over the last two seasons.
