Liverpool moved 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League after a brace by Mohamed Salah gave it a 2-0 win over Watford at Anfield on Saturday.

Salah produced the two moments of real quality from Jurgen Klopp’s men by finishing off from a rapid counter-attack off a Watford corner to open the scoring before flicking home a second a minute from time.

In La Liga, Barcelona was held to a 2-2 draw by high-flying Real Sociedad.

A mistake by Barca’s usually excellent goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen gifted la Real an equaliser in a thrilling contest at Anoeta between two of the most attacking teams.
