Baku, March 1, AZERTAC
Watford took a giant leap toward EPL survival on Leap Year Day, beating the previously unbeaten Liverpool 3-0, CNN reports.
The reigning European Champions had been undefeated in its first 27 league games, winning 26 and drawing just one and were just one win away from setting the new record for most consecutive league wins.
But a double from Senegal international Ismaila Sarr and a calm finish from Troy Deeney helped Watford secure a big win in its hopes of remaining in the Premier League.
The defeat was the club's first defeat since January 2019, ending a 44-game unbeaten streak, the second longest unbeaten run in English top-flight history.
For Watford, the win moves it out of the relegation zone on goal difference.
