Liverpool 6-1 Watford

Watch match highlights as Liverpool went top of the Premier League table with a 6-1 victory over Watford.

Liverpool stormed to the summit of the league for the first time since May 2014 courtesy of another sublime performance at Anfield to see off the Hornets.

The Reds were last in top spot during the latter stages of the title race three seasons ago, when an irrepressible attack looked set to deliver a long-awaited league championship on Merseyside only for defensive frailties to rob them of silverware.

Jurgen Klopp's current team have all the forward flair of that Brendan Rodgers side, with Sadio Mane, Philippe Coutinho and Emre Can all scoring in the space of 16 first-half minutes, before Roberto Firmino, Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum added further goals after the interval.

And though Daryl Janmaat's consolation robbed them of a second successive clean sheet, this was an emphatic answer to those querying Liverpool's title credentials.
