73' - This time Robertson's delivery was low and Watford defenders cleared it out easily. Robertson whips a corner into the box from the left wing and no-one is able to meet it, but it falls to Salah on the edge of the penalty area and he fires a low shot towards goal. In 14 Premier League contests at home this season, Liverpool are unbeaten with 11 wins and three draws. Neeraj Chopra qualifies for maiden World Championship final with first-attempt t World Athletics Championships 2022: All India results and schedule, Asia Cup will be held in UAE, says Sourav Ganguly, Terms of Use and Grievance Redressal Policy. CHANCE! This is a bit better from Watford, the game has opened up slightly and the visitors are trying to get in behind the Liverpool defence to create something in the final third. Sarr latches onto the end of a long ball over the top and he volleys an effort towards goal, but he just gets slightly too much on it and it flies over the Liverpool goal. Thiago plays a superb no-look pass to Jones in the final third and the midfielder should play the ball off to a team-mate, but instead opts to go for goal himself and his effort flies high and wide of the visitors goal. LIVERPOOL TAKE THE LEAD! They look dangerous on the counter-attack, which Liverpool need to be wary of. However, he drags his effort wide of the Watford goal. Hernandez is the first Watford man to be booked after he drags Gomez down to the ground down the right wing. Liverpool lead 2-0. Mane almost makes it three in stoppage time! ? Decent chance! Liverpool moved top of the Premier League for the first time this year as Diogo Jota's header and a late Fabinho penalty saw off Watford 2-0. We're into the final 10 minutes of the game now and it remains Liverpool who lead 1-0 thanks to Jota's first half header. However, it looks like he will be fine to continue. SAVE! No clear chance on target for the hosts. They may only be top of the table for a few hours as Man City face Burnley shortly and a win for them would send them back to the summit, but Liverpool face City next weekend in a huge title clash. Watford keeper Foster comes with a good save to deny Mane at the top of the box. Liverpool face a trip to Portugal on Tuesday to play Benfica in the Champions League quarter-finals, so it will be interesting to see if Klopp begins to make any changes soon to rest a few players who may start in midweek. The attacker is released through on goal and only has Foster to beat, but the keeper races out and times his save to perfection, just nicking the ball off the toes of Mane. PENALTY!
