#2 Flop - Abdoulaye Doucoure

This game could have had a very different outcome had Watford finished two amazing chances which they created for themselves - Abdoulaye Doucoure was at the end of the better one of those and he messed up badly.

Finding the ball in a good position in front of the goal, Doucoure could (and should) have finished past Alisson, but his shot was wayward and the ball did not even hit the target. The player's control was bad, and despite completing two dribbles, his final output in front of the goal left much to be desired. If Watford is to escape from their slump, they need their players to step up, and Doucoure is one of those who really need to up their game.


#1 Hit - Mohamed Salah

It was Mohamed Salah's goal which broke the deadlock at Anfield, and it could not have come in a better way. Creating space for himself inside the box after a well-weighted pass by Mane, the Egyptian King finished over a helpless Ben Foster with his weaker foot and gave his side the lead.

Salah looked lively throughout the game and he was the home team's main attacking threat as they extended their unbeaten run at the top. He was crafty and agile, and his positioning in the box lead to an easy second goal which sealed the game for Liverpool.

Heading into the busiest part of the season, Jurgen Klopp will be a happy man to see his forward getting back to his best.
