Watford

Watford boss Claudio Ranieri, speaking to Sky Sports: "One thing I'd like to know, when there is a man on the ground, everyone expect the ball go back but they didn't go back. There isn't the respect in that situation. When Sarr on the big counter attack they fall on Sarr and then score the goal! That's it, but I am very happy with the performance.

"All the stadium was waiting on this. If you want to put the ball out you have to give the ball back.

"We are to improve when we go to press and to stay altogether and when we go on the counter attack to choose the best solution. Every match is a story and we are ready to fight against everybody."

Watford boss Claudio Ranieri, speaking to BBC Sport: "The performance was very good, especially the first half. Of course there was the penalty, right penalty, but Ben Foster made a fantastic save.

"I want to say something about the goal because when we put the ball out voluntary, everyone expect to give the ball back to you but there was not that respect from the Arsenal players.

"We fight a lot but we must be very calm when we have the right ball. We have a very good chance to draw the match. It is OK, we are building the basement and the basement is strong enough. Of course I want much better from my players but for the beginning I am happy.

"I am very confident with the club and the players and the fans and altogether we can see the 40 points."

Just a couple of bits of reaction from the earlier game...

Liverpool are stepping on the gas, they're piling pressure on.

It's all down the right-hand side, Trent Alexander-Arnold has been magnificent, he's been playing like a right winger.

The half-time whistle finally goes.

Alisson's own goal cancelled out by Trent Alexander-Arnold's stunner.

Tomas Soucek the first man booked for a late challenge on Diogo Jota.

He scored a beauty but almost puts his side in trouble by giving the ball away.

Trent Alexander-Arnold misses the ball an Said Benrahma plays the ball into the middle, but Virgil van Dijk makes an inch-perfect challenge to deny Jarrod Bowen a shot.

Trent Alexander-Arnold's corner is brought away from danger by Ben Johnson and he launches a ball forward, with Alisson flying way off his line to kung-fu kick a clearance back the other way.

Liverpool have a corner in the 50th minute of the first half.

West Ham playing it around at the back, looking to get through to half-time.

A golden opportunity for West Ham goes begging.

Michail Antonio is played through on goal but has a long way to go.

He approaches the edge of the Liverpool box but the ball gets trapped under his clumsy touch and the chance is lost.

Tony: The Redmen have grown into the march and are now dominant. Exceptional Trent strike!

Now they're passing and moving to the Liverpool groove.

Crisp, one-touch passing but Sadio Mane's shot loops into the air and Lukasz Fabianski can claim unchallenged.

West Ham have offered nothing going forward since scoring the goal.

Now they're on the back foot.

This young man is on a different level at the moment.

This is brilliant, Alexander-Arnold just moves it, he just bends it right round the wall and into the corner, it's a fantastic finish. Lukasz Fabianski had no chance. It's a fantastic free-kick, it's pure class.

He's one of the best free-kick takers in the Premier League.

Now then.

Mohamed Salah trying to work some magic and is brought down inside the 'D' by Declan Rice.

A free-kick in a very good position this.
