WATFORD LEAD!!!
8'GOAL! Watford take an early lead! Corner wass whipped in by Jose Holebas who picked out Okaka, who charged towards the near post before beating Simon Mignolet with a bullet header from close range.
Poor defending by Liverpool.

29' GOAL! Liverpool have equalised! Mane links up beautifully with Can on the edge of the Watford penalty area before latching onto a delightful flick from the German, setting up the Senegal international to beat Gomes with a curling shot into the top right-hand corner of the net.
Lovely!

30' GOAL!  Watford lead again!
Poor defending from Liverpool, particularly Moreno, who loses the ball in a bad area.
Doucoure breaks it up, then drives into the area, picking up the loose ball after Matip slid and failed to claim it.
Swept into the empty net.


53' (penalty): GOAL! Firmino steps up and comfortably slots a lovely shot into the left-hand corner of the net to equalise for Liverpool. Gomes wasn't going to stop that!

55' GOAL! Watford 2-3 Liverpool (Salah)
Real quality from Firmino here, stunning touch to kill the long ball from Lovren.
He looks to lift it over Gomes and does so, but it’s drifting wide, only for Salah to anticipate it first and convert into the empty net!
Liverpool lead!

GOAL! Watford have equalised late on! A corner beats Mignolet and bounces off the woodwork, but Britos nodded the ball over the line from a few inches out.

What a game!
