Second half strikes from Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Roberto Firmino helped Liverpool ease past Watford on Saturday.

Liverpool extended their unbeaten streak in the Premier League to thirteen games, as they beat Javi Gracia’s Watford FC 3-0 at the Vicarage Road this weekend.

After a rather uneventful first half, Jurgen Klopp’s men burst into life after the break and Mo Salah broke the deadlock in the 67th minute, before Trent Alexander-Arnold fired home a brilliant free-kick ten minutes later.
