'You're welcome!' - Watford send cheeky message to Arsenal after Liverpool win

Watford sent a cheeky message to Arsenal after their 3-0 victory over Liverpool ensured the records held by the famous Gunners ‘Invincibles’ side remained intact.

“Dear Arsenal, you’re welcome” was the message tweeted to their Premier League rivals after two goals from Ismaila Sarr and another from Troy Deeney secured a famous win for the Hornets at Vicarage Road.

The result meant Liverpool’s 44-game unbeaten league run came to a shuddering halt, a run stretching back 422 days to a 2-1 defeat to Manchester City at Etihad Stadium on January 3, 2019.

It ends their hopes of going the whole season unbeaten and matching the achievements of Arsene Wenger’s side in 2004 and Preston North End way back in 1889.

It also meant the Reds fell five games short of the record 49-game unbeaten run set by that same Gunners side from May 2003 to October 2004.

It is little wonder then that Arsenal had simply tweeted “phew” immediately after the game, in relief at their records remaining unbroken.

The defeat also meant Liverpool missed the chance to secure a 19th successive win and break the record of 18 they currently share with Manchester City.
