#3 Ismaila Sarr was in inspired form

WIsmaila Sarr scored a brace and assist

After starring for Rennes in the French Ligue 1, Watford made Ismaila Sarr their record signing when they paid the sum of £30m for him last summer.

He got off to a slow start in the league but has been reborn in recent weeks, impressing with his direct running and willingness to charge at the opposition.

This much was evident in the game with Liverpool, and after a quiet first half, he roared to life at the restart, showing great instinct to evade the challenge of both Van Dijk and Robertson to score the opener, while he was also maintained his composure when played in through on goal to thump a finish past Alisson just six minutes later.

He wrapped up an impressive performance by setting Troy Deeney up for the winner, after bamboozling the Liverpool defence. He would have netted a well-deserved hat-trick in the 82nd minute, but dragged his shot narrowly wide before being substituted to a rapturous applause from the Watford faithful.
