Sarr delightful for Watford as Reds stung with first defeat

LEAGUE-LEADERS Liverpool turned up at Vicarage Road on Saturday seeking a record-breaking win, but Watford had other ideas as they ran out emphatic 3-0 winners.

Victory for the Reds would have meant them setting a new Premier League record of 19 consecutive wins, but Jurgen Klopp was gracious in defeat: “We didn’t perform as well as we should have and we didn’t create enough chances, but congratulations to Watford. I am surprised that they are fighting to stay in the league.”

Hornets boss Nigel Pearson rightly praised his troops, but insisted that there is more work to be done. “It’s fantastic to beat possibly the best club side in the world at the moment. But it’s just one game and we have 10 games left in which we have to emulate what we have done today.”
