Liverpool outclassed Watford 5-0 at Vicarage Road on Saturday afternoon to spoil Claudio Ranieri’s return to the Premier League.

The Reds remain unbeaten so far in the season following their thrilling 2-2 encounter with defending champions, Manchester City, two weeks ago at Anfield before the international break.

Sadio Mané who opened the scoring against Pep Guardiola’s side gave Liverpool an early lead nine minutes into the game against The Hornets.

The Senegalese became the third African player to reach 100 goals in the Premier League, after Didier Drogba and Mohamed Salah.

Roberto Firmino doubled the lead in the 37th minute after an assist from the Egyptian forward.

Salah made it 3-0 for Jurgen Klopp’s men in the 54th minute by scoring a similar classy goal as he did against City last time out.

Firmino then scored two more goals (52′, 90+1′) to complete his hat-trick as Liverpool go two points ahead on the EPL summit.
