Liverpool maintained pressure on table-topping Manchester City with three second half goals to seal a comfortable 3-0 victory at Watford on Saturday.
After a largely uneventful first half, Mohamed Salah put the ball past Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster in the 67th minute before England defender Trent Alexander-Arnold scored a stunning second goal.
The 20-year-old beat Foster with a brilliant whipped free kick from 25 metres nine minutes later, before his international team mate Jordan Henderson was dismissed for a second bookable offence.
Liverpool were not hindered by their numerical disadvantage, however, with Roberto Firmino adding a late third goal.
The win helped the visitors to extend their unbeaten start to the English Premier League season to 13 games.
