EHe Liverpool stepped out onto the grass of Vicarage Road and became its best version. Jrgen Klopp’s pupils remembered Liverpool as league champions in the 2019/20 season and they paid homage to Claudio Ranieri’s new Watford.
With the trio of intoned strikers there was little that Watford could do. But it wasn’t just about Salah, Man and Firmino, with a Naby Keita leading the midfield and a defense of four with the best version of Virgil Van Dijk all going out alone. And soon the first goal came, Man made the first in minute 9 to pass from Salah so that eight minutes before reaching the break, Firmino made the second of the match.
There was no Watford in the first part and it will not appear in the second. Roberto Firmino put the third on the scoreboard and the second on his private account at 52 ‘. Two minutes later the fourth fell with a dream play by Mohamed Salah, He left up to four defenders dancing in the area and then crossed the ball to the opposite post.
Firmino put the icing on the cake by scoring his third goal in the final moments. Klopp took the opportunity to rest players like Alexander-Arnold, Robertson or Milner, with his sights set on the Champions League match during the week against Atltico de Madrid.
Ranieri opens with defeat and bad feelings
The Italian coach made his debut in front of the Watford bench and it will surely be a meeting that you will want to forget. Before their fans, the Watford players could not show their faces on the grass. The bad dynamics that they brought with their previous coach were maintained against Liverpool. The Hornets they were run over by a Liverpool that got the fifth.
