Watford captain Troy Deeney hailed Ismaila Sarr after their stunning 3-0 defeat of Liverpool.

Sarr scored twice in six second minutes before Deeney added a third to send Liverpool tumbling to their first Premier League loss since January 2019.

Deeney remarked at the final whistle: "Ismaila Sarr is an unbelievable player, unbelievable talent. He still has a lot to learn, and will continue to learn. But I think it's a full team performance and a special mention has to go to Gerard Deulofeu as well, it looks like it's going to be a bad one.

"It's about time Ben Foster has a week off! He's been keeping us in it for a lot of games this season. He's getting better like a fine wine.

"We have to take it for what it is, it's three points and we go again. This one we'll enjoy for a day or two, then back on the pitch to get ready for a tough game against Crystal Palace.

"I'm not looking at anybody else, I'm looking at what we're doing. All we can do is control our own destiny and thankfully we're in a position to do that. We knew we had to try and get a result. This is massive for us."
