Liverpool lost their unbeatable in the Premier League by falling by surprise and with a crash (3-0) in the field of Watford, 17th in the standings. It is the end of an immaculate run of 27 wins and a draw this season, which allows the Anfield team to touch a title that has not won since 1990.

In this way the 'reds' will not be able to reach the unbeatable record, held by Arsenal since 2004. The 'gunners' remained 49 games without knowing the defeat, compared to the 44 with which Liverpool stays, joining last season and the current one. The last stumble of Klopp's was dated January 3, 2018. It was against Manchester City (2-1). The discreet Watford has become an executioner. However, with 22 points ahead of Manchester City (2nd), the Anfield team is four wins away from winning the Premier when 10 days remain.

In just over a quarter of an hour, Liverpool crumbled. The hero of Watford was the Senegalese, 22, Ismaila Sarr , author of a double (54 and 60), and assistance to Troy Deeney (72). Before leaving his place to the Argentine Ignacio Pussetto (83), Sarr had in his boots the triplet, but shot out in front of the Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson.

Frustrated record

With his stumble, Liverpool will not exceed the record for consecutive victories in the championship, remaining with 18, as was Manchester City in 2017. Until now, the only game that Liverpool had not won this season in the Premier had been the tie a goal at Old Trafford, on October 20.

Lacking hunger and inspiration, the 'reds', who had already played with fire in recent weeks, as in the previous day against West Ham (3-2), had finished the first half without firing at goal. They could even go to the locker room with a goal against, after an error by Alisson that Deeney did not take advantage of.

But finally Sarr took a pass from Abdoulaye Doucouré , his former partner in the Rennes, to make the 1-0. He then received a doctorate when he beat the Dutchman Virgil van Dijk in the race and poked the ball against Alisson. Then Deeney put on the lace for some Hornets who lost Gerard Deulofeu in the first half, who went on a stretcher in what can be a major knee injury.
