Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Liverpool FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' It looks surprising Liverpool FC does not make any changes. Joshua King has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Mohamed Salah suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Liverpool FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 20' It’s high time Roy Hodgson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 22' Diogo Jota puts Liverpool FC on the lead.
- 23' Goal! Diogo Jota scores his 85 goal in 330 matches.
- 28' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.

- 38' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 38 minutes.

- 59' Watford FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 59.
- 62' The whistle greets Curtis Jones as he departs to be replaced by Fabinho.
