Comments:

League position: 1st Liverpool were now top of the Premier League for the first time since 6 May 2014, so the first time under manager Jurgen Klopp. This was the fifth time that the Reds had scored six or more goals in the Premier League at Anfield (also versus Southampton, Manchester City, Derby County and Hull City). Sadio Mane had now scored five goals in his five Premier League appearances at Anfield for Liverpool. Roberto Firmino's strike was the Reds' 100th goal in 2016 in all competitions.

Comments:

League position: 8th This was Watford's joint-heaviest defeat in the Premier League, matched by a 5-0 loss to AFC Wimbledon on 4 December 1999. The last time that the Hornets conceded six goals in a league games was in a 1-6 defeat at Norwich City in League Division One on 7 April 1984. On the same day, Liverpool beat West Ham United 6-0 at Anfield. They had lost only one of their preceding Premier League games (won four) and kept clean sheets in the last three. Sadio Mane's opener was the 200th goal that the Hornets had conceded in the Premier League.
