Firmino gets in on the act
Roberto Firmino produced one of the cheekiest goals ever scored in the Premier League to put Liverpool over the hills and far away. Deftly finishing a Mo Salah cross with a back flick into the far corner of the net, the Brazilian wheeled away in celebration.
However, Mo Salah was not done with Watford just yet. After setting up Roberto Firmino, the forward humiliated the entire Watford defence before rounding off his hat-trick. Salah then grabbed his fourth on the night after by lashing a shot into the roof of the net after Watford keeper Orestis Karnezis could only parry Danny Ings' effort.
