Klopp’s got a real sore sting in tail

-

yes, it’s the opposite of what we wanted and some people might say they saw it coming, but I didn’t see it coming.

“Just because you’re not convincing in the last game doesn’t mean the next one is the same.

“I don’t think you break records because you want to. We would lose a game at some time, it was clear it would happen. We didn’t think about it. Tonight it has happened.

“Now we don’t have to think about the records, we can think about winning games.

“What the players did so far is exceptiona­l. But it’s not over. That’s all

I’m interested in.

“We will go again 100 per cent and we will see where it leads us. We didn’t expect to win this number of games. But it was never easy.”

Watford boss Nigel Pearson was delighted as his stars climbed out of the relegation zone on goal difference.

“It’s such an important win for us. But it is one win. Our season has been tough so far, with losing last week and not playing well, we were keen to get a response.

“Liverpool are such an outstandin­g side, we had to get our performanc­e right – as close to max as possible – and I thought we thoroughly deserved the win. It’s in our hands, and we have to deliver that performanc­e week in, week out.”

Jarrod Bowen admitted his first WEST HAM start was the stuff of dreams after the striker helped fire David Moyes’s side out of the bottom three.

Bowen set the Hammers on course for a 3-1 defeat of SOUTHAMPTO­N with Sebastien Haller and Michail Antonio also on target.

The former Hull forward said: “I think that’s the way it went in my dreams last night! We held on and got the three points which is really important.

“I thought it might be offside – I joked with my dad last night about what if I scored and it was ruled out!”

Struggling BOURNEMOUT­H scored twice in three minutes after falling behind to CHELSEA before Marcos

Alonso struck his second of the game to salvage a point for Frank Lampard’s side.
