On February 29, 2020, Watford emerged from the relegation zone with a remarkable 3-0 victory over Liverpool, a result that sent shockwaves through the football world.
The match, held at Vicarage Road, was anticipated to be a day of celebration for the Reds, who were on the brink of setting a new record with 19 consecutive Premier League wins.
Instead, it was the Hornets who stole the spotlight, executing a well-planned strategy and capitalising on their opportunities in the second half.
Gerard Deulofeu and Troy Deeney were particularly active, although the first half was marred by a serious injury to Deulofeu, who twisted his knee after a challenge from Virgil Van Dijk.
The breakthrough for Watford came shortly after the interval when Ismaila Sarr capitalised on a throw-in, scoring from Abdoulaye Doucoure’s pull back.
