PARIS, France, Mar 2 – Ismaila Sarr overshadowed fellow Senegalese Sadio Mane by scoring twice as lowly Watford won 3-0 to end the 44-match unbeaten Premier League streak of runaway leaders Liverpool.
Mane has been among the key figures as the Reds march toward a first league title in three decades, but he had to take a back seat at Vicarage Road as Sarr blossomed.
His pace and trickery unsettled Liverpool and he was rewarded with two goals before setting up Troy Deeney for the third.
ENGLAND
ISMAILA SARR (Watford)
The Hornets’ record signing was up against his idol Mane and stabbed home the opener at the near post and then showed his pace and poise to chip Alisson Becker for Watford’s second.
Sarr then turned provider for the third as he teed up Deeney to complete a famous win that lifted Watford out of the bottom three.
JORDAN AYEW (Crystal Palace)
Ayew scored the only goal as Palace got the better of rivals Brighton to ease any fear of being dragged into a relegation battle.
The Ghanaian’s strike took his league tally for the season to seven — matching his best tally for a single campaign in England.
MBWANA SAMATTA (Aston Villa)
Samatta did Tanzania proud by scoring in the League Cup final against Manchester City, but his diving header at the near post just before half-time was merely a consolation for Villa as City won 2-1 to lift the trophy for a third straight season.
SPAIN
YOUSSEF EN-NESYRI (Sevilla)
En-Nesyri scored a 93rd-minute winner as Sevilla beat Osasuna 3-2 to move up to third in La Liga. The Moroccan striker, who joined Sevilla from Leganes in January, opened the scoring with a guided shot into the corner before Lucas Ocampos made it two on the stroke of half-time.
Osasuna came back in the second half through goals from Aridane and Roberto Torres, only for En-Nesyri to snatch victory for Sevilla in injury-time with a close-range finish.
GERMANY
RAMY BENSEBAINI (Borussia Moenchengladbach)
Algerian Bensebaini scored a crucial early goal for Moenchengladbach as they beat Augsburg 3-2 to keep pace with the top of the Bundesliga table.
Bensebaini, in his first start in 2020 after returning from injury, headed home a cross from Lars Stindl to put the visitors 1-0 up.
When asked how it felt to be back in the Foals’ line-up after the match, he simply replied “it was fun”.
ACHRAF HAKIMI (Borussia Dortmund)
Having made his name as one of Dortmund’s best going forward this season, the Real Madrid loanee was called on to do more than his fair share of defending against a stubborn Freiburg side.
Working on the edge of a four-man midfield, Hakimi’s pace was valuable during the 1-0 win as he snuffed out several Freiburg counter attacks.
He did have a shot on goal deflected in the dying stages but was unable to add to his tally of two Bundesliga goals this season.
FRANCE
STEPHANE BAHOKEN (Angers)
The Cameroon striker was rewarded with a start for his team at Brest after coming off the bench against Montpellier last weekend and scoring the winner a minute later.
He delivered again in Brest, although he needed a full 43 minutes to bag the only goal of the match this time.
MAX-ALAIN GRADEL (Toulouse)
Ivory Coast winger Gradel, 32, returned to the Toulouse starting line-up last weekend for the first time in a Ligue 1 game since early December following injury.
He kept his place and wore the captain’s armband but could not prevent the division’s bottom side from going down 2-0 at home to Rennes.
They have now taken just a single point from their last 17 league games and are heading fast towards relegation.
KARL TOKO-EKAMBI (Lyon)
Cameroon forward Toko-Ekambi, who joined Lyon on loan from Villarreal in January, came off the bench and contributed to their 2-0 win over derby rivals Saint-Etienne.
Having earlier had a goal disallowed for offside, he won the late penalty which Moussa Dembele scored to seal the victory.
Toko-Ekambi had started the 1-0 Champions League last-16, first leg win over Juventus in midweek and hit the bar in the first half against the Italians.
