Premier League – Liverpool with a home win at least for the time being at the top

Liverpool FC did not show any weakness in the gripping title fight of the English Premier League. The team of team manager Jürgen Klopp defeated Watford FC 2-0 (1-0) and took over the top of the table for at least a few hours with 72 points.

However, defending champions Manchester City (70) can overtake them again with a win at Burnley.

Diogo Jota (22nd) and Fabinho (89th, penalty kick) scored the goals for the Reds, who also celebrated a successful dress rehearsal for the quarter-final first leg in the Champions League on Tuesday at Benfica Lisbon.

Next Sunday there will be a possibly decisive duel in the league at City.

For Liverpool, the three against Watford was the tenth league win in a row. The Reds are only the second team in history after Man City to achieve such a series for the fifth time.
