Liverpool: The Reds go top of the Premier League Table after beating Watford at Anfield

Liverpool are top of the Premier League after a 2-0 victory over Watford at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp’s side overcame Roy Hodson’s Hornets thanks to Diogo Jota’s first-half header and a late penalty from Fabinho.

It moved the Reds two points above Manchester City – although Pep Guardiola’s men can move back above Liverpool if they beat Burnley on Saturday afternoon.

The opening goal came halfway through the first half.

Joe Gomez, who started at right-back in place of Trent Alexander-Arnold, produced a brilliant cross that Jota got ahead of goalkeeper Ben Foster to head home.

It wasn’t until the final few minutes that the match was wrapped up as Fabinho stuck away a penalty at the Kop End.
