Mohamed Salah’s double gave Liverpool a 2-0 win from a tense Premier League clash with Watford on Saturday afternoon.

The Egyptian picked out the top corner with a clinical curler on 38 minutes at Anfield, where the Reds had to dig deep in the face of a classy performance by the visitors.

Ultimately, they saw it out and Salah’s last-minute flicked finish clinched the three points – their 16th win in 17 league matches this term – and maintained their lead at the summit before setting off for the FIFA Club World Cup in Qatar next week.
