On the evening of April 2, Beijing time, the Premier League match reignited the flames of war, including a match in the 31st round, Liverpool at home to meet Watford. In the end, thanks to the goals of Jota and Fabinho, Liverpool won 2-0 against the opponent and won an important three points without any danger, temporarily pushing Manchester City to rise to the top of the table.
After returning from the international break, Liverpool took the lead in the early game, while their opponent was relegation side Watford. On the side of Uncle Scum, he has previously led the Reds to nine consecutive league wins, narrowing the gap with Manchester City to 1 point. For Liverpool, they are still expected to hit the 4 titles this season.
In terms of starting, Liverpool still sent most of the main players, including Salah, who lost the World Cup qualification on the international match day, to start. However, in this match, perhaps affected by the qualifications, the Egyptian star was very average, and he was replaced by Mane in the second half.
For Watford, they have recently changed managers again, with the old coach Hodgson back in the Premier League. Facing his old club, Hodgson has a certain defensive approach, but unfortunately there is still no way to block the Reds' goal in the first half. In the 23rd minute of the match, Liverpool's start on the right side of the road, Jota's header, helped the team to take a 1-0 lead.
Relying on this goal, Jota has scored 23 goals in the Premier League in less than 2 seasons with Liverpool, and is the top 20 player in the club's all-time goalscoring list, surpassing the famous "tall guy" Crouch. After helping Portugal qualify for the World Cup, Jota's status at the club also continued to be hot.
In the following time, the two sides attacked and defended each other, and Liverpool always had the advantage on the field, but did not rewrite the score for a long time. In the 89th minute, Liverpool won a penalty opportunity, and it was Jota who scored in the first half. Fabinho scored a penalty to help the team set the final victory. At the end of the game, Liverpool scored an important 3 points to surpass Manchester City in the top of the league.
It was a crucial 3-pointer for Klopp, who have recently racked up a 10-game winning streak in the Premier League. Liverpool have shrugged off injuries this season and are a strong contender for the title on all fronts. Previously, Liverpool was far behind Manchester City, but now the Reds have achieved a rebound.
In April, Liverpool will have an important match, including two legs of the Champions League match against Benfica. Of course, in the Premier League, Liverpool will face the Manchester duo in April, which will most likely determine the title of this season.
How many titles do you think Liverpool, who have escaped injuries this season, will eventually be able to win?
