Liverpool lost their unbeatable in the Premier League by falling by surprise and with a crash (3-0) in the field of Watford, 17 in the standings. It is the end of an immaculate journey 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 those of Klopp 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 (2), the Anfield team is four wins away from winning the Premier when 10 days remain.

“Now we can play football again freely, without pressure. We don't have to try to get a record. We just have to try to win football matches again and that's what we will do,” Jurgen Klopp said at the end of the duel.

In little more than a quarter of an hour Liverpool fell apart. Watford's hero was the 22-year-old Senegal 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 trip, Liverpool did not overcome the record of 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 part without firing at goal. They could even go to the locker room with a goal against, after an error of Alisson that did not take advantage Deeney.

But finally Sarr took a pass Abdoulaye Doucour, his former partner in Rennes, to make the 1-0. Then he got a doctor when he passed the Dutch race Virgil van Dijk and chop the ball before Alisson. Then Deeney put on the lace for some Hornets who lost in the first part to Gerard Deulofeu, I went on a stretcher in what can be an important knee injury.
