Watford 3-0 Liverpool: No unbeaten season for Reds after resounding defeat

Liverpool's run of winning 19 Premier League matches in a row came to a resounding end after a comprehensive 3-0 defeat to relegation-threatened Watford at Vicarage Road.

The runaway league leaders were miles from their best, hardly creating a chance of note, while Watford were ruthless when opportunities came their way, with Ismaila Sarr and Troy Deeney combining to devastating effect.

FC Ratings: Sarr the super-star man

All the goals came in the second half, with Sarr scoring twice before Deeney rounded off a superb, if largely unexpected victory, which ends the Reds' aspirations of an unbeaten league season, while the Hornets will now look to kick on as the relegation zone becomes even more condensed.
