Liverpool vs Watford player ratings: Mohamed Salah the difference in Anfield victory

Liverpool made it five wins on the bounce with a 2-0 victory over Watford on Saturday.

The result sees the side move 11 points clear at the top of the table, with second-placed Leicester to play later in the day.

Mohamed Salah proved the difference in the contest, finding the back of the net with a stunning curled shot in the first half before tapping in from close range with a flicked effort late on.

Sadio Mane also looked to have scored for the hosts before the break but his header was ruled out for offside by VAR.

Watford made Liverpool work for the win and enjoyed a series of close chances on goal but failed to capitalise.

So how did the two teams fare? See the gallery below for our player ratings.
