After 44 games unbeaten run in the league, 18 straight wins after dropping two points at Old Trafford in the first half of the season and 36 consecutive games of scoring, Nigel Pearson’s Watford handed Liverpool their first loss of the season; 3-0.
After a cagey first half, Ismaila Sarr was the “tormentor-in-chief” against Liverpool’s defense as the young Senegalese bagged a brace and provided an assist on the night where football fans, especially Arsenal fans, celebrated Liverpool’s loss emphatically.
1985 – Liverpool's defeat was the heaviest suffered by a team top of the top-flight table against an opponent in the relegation zone since Leicester beat Manchester United 3-0 on November 23rd 1985. Astounding. pic.twitter.com/jhUZsycIZi

The Reds are still 22 points on top of the log despite losing tonight but with their next round of games and considering their misfortune in the 2013/2014 season, Is this defeat the beginning of a meltdown?
