With MU, Man City, Arsenal all losing points in round 35 of the Premier League, Liverpool is determined to win their away match at Watford. If they get 3 points, coach Jurgen Klopp and his team will have an advantage in the race for the top 4 this season.

Emre Can became the hero of Liverpool when he launched a diving kick into the Watford net, helping the English port city team to win an important victory. With the 3 points just got, "The Kop" continues to hold the 3rd position on the Premier League rankings with 69 points, 3 points more than Man City and 4 points more than MU but played 1 more match.

Liverpool attacked right from the opening whistle. However, before scoring a goal, the away team suffered a loss in terms of numbers when Philippe Coutinho was injured and had to leave the field in the 13th minute. He was replaced by Adam Lallana, who had been out for over a month.

Having just returned to the game, Lallana left his mark when he volleyed the ball into the Watford crossbar in the first half. In addition, Klopp's students also put a lot of pressure on the home team's field. This is also understandable when in the first leg, Liverpool won 6-1.

In the first half's injury time, Liverpool's attacking efforts paid off when Lucas Leiva made a high pass into the penalty area and Can jumped up to hook the ball into the Watford net.

In the second half, coach Klopp's students continued to press the field and created a number of opportunities, but James Milner, Divock Origi and then Daniel Sturridge were unable to finish successfully.

However, the 1-0 victory was enough to help Liverpool continue to have the advantage in the race for the top 4 of the Premier League with Man City, MU and Arsenal.
