Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed how Watford captain Troy Deeney showed class after his side’s 5-0 defeat at Anfield.

Mohamed Salah netted four goals and assisted one as he sunk Watford to 11th in the Premier League this weekend, in yet another masterful performance by the Egyptian. NaijaBet.com

The 25-year-old scored his first Premier League hat-trick and took his tally to 36 for the season across all competitions, surpassing Fernando Torres’ record as the top-scoring Liverpool player in their debut season for the club.

Klopp described how Watford captain Deeney made sure to congratulate Salah and the Reds, despite the 5-0 demolition, by shaking the hands of the home team’s players in the dressing room.

“He [Deeney] was waiting for all the players when we came in. He was waiting and clapped hands with all of them,” Klopp stated, as reported by the Hertfordshire Mercury. NaijaBet.com

“I didn’t know about that but he was really waiting, even for me.”

Deeney has been involved in his fair share of controversial moments as captain of Watford, including suggesting that Arsenal have no “cojones” after registering a win against them last October – as well as being involved in a nasty altercation with Stoke City’s Joe Allen that same month, which led to him serving a three-match ban.
