Liverpool had to grind and they did exactly that to see off Watford 2-0 at Anfield and keep their remarkable season going.
Mohamed Salah scored both the goals for the Reds, who had to thank Alisson for a few good saves as they kept their first Anfield clean sheet of the season.
After a scrappy start to the game, Watford created the first big chance of the game in the 36th minute, but Abdoulaye Doucoure completely fluffed his lines in front of goal.
A minute later, Liverpool broke from the corner and Mane found Salah one-on-one with the defender. The Egyptian then cut back on his right foot to curl his effort into the back of the net.
The visitors had opportunities to equalise in the second half, but Alisson made a couple of crucial saves to keep his clean sheet.
Then, in the 90th minute, Salah scored from an outrageous flick through Christian Kabasele’s legs to settle the matters.
Mane scored in the 50th minute, but VAR ruled that out because the Senegal international’s hip was offside. Make of that what you want!
