Watford stuns Liverpool in Premier League

JUSTIN TALLIS / AFP

Liverpool suffered their first defeat in the Premier League this season, going down 3-0 at Watford.

All the goals came in the second-half with Ismaila Sarr scoring a double and Troy Deeney netting his side's third.

Jurgen Klopp's men missed the chance of setting a top-flight record of 19 straight victories and were five games away from equalling Arsenal's all-time best unbeaten run of 49 matches.

The win helped Watford move out of the relegation places.

West Ham also climbed out of the bottom three with a 3-1 win over Southampton, while Bournemouth are now in the drop zone after their 2-2 draw at home to Chelsea.

Elsewhere, Newcastle finished 0-0 with Burnley and Brighton lost 1-0 at home to Crystal Palace.

In Sunday's games, Tottenham host Wolves and Manchester United head to Everton.
