Goal : Sadio Mane 1 - 0
Salah drives forward down the right to open up the Watford defence. He's tackled in the box but the ball comes out to Alexander-Arnold, who swings in a cross to Mane on the penalty spot.
Mane's first touch is poor as it takes him away from goal, but his second touch more than makes up for it as he finishes with a backheel from about 15 yards out, with the ball bouncing over Foster.

Goal : 20' Sadio Mane 2 - 0
Alexander-Arnold has time to cross from the right and swings in a perfect delivery for Mane to head past Foster from eight yards out.
Not sure it's a goal that Watford's centre-backs will want to see again as Mane got between them and was wide open in the box.
