Ismaila Sarr was targeted by Liverpool in the summer and demonstrated why last night as he shone in Watford’s 2-1 win at Stoke.
The Senegalese showed exactly what the Premier League champions are missing right now: the ability to unlock a stubborn defence and clinical finishing in the box.
He danced through Stoke in the build-up to the opener and added another minutes later to hand Xisco Munoz’s men a fourth win in his five league games in charge.
Both teams had changed formation from midweek and both gave off an aura in the first half that they were rather unsure of themselves and reluctant to throw too many men forward.
