EPL roundup: Dennis scores in Watford’s win as Liverpool cruise to the top
Emmanuel Dennis, Super Eagles forward, scored the opening goal as Watford defeated Norwich 3-1 away from home in their English Premier League (EPL) match at Carrow Road on Saturday.
The 23-year-old summer signing showed desire and a poacher’s instinct to give Watford the lead before Ismaila Sarr’s brace ensured victory in the second half.
It is Dennis’ second goal in four league matches since joining Watford on a five-year deal from Club Brugge in the summer.
William Troost-Ekong, Eagles’ vice-captain and central defender, played the entire match while Oghenekaro Etebo was given a late seven-minute run out as a substitute.
In other games, the African trio of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah, and Naby Keita scored as Liverpool cruised to a dominant 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Anfield.
The 2020 EPL champions made light work of Patrick Vieira’s sturdy side through Mane’s 100th goal for Liverpool on 43 minutes, Salah’s clinical finish to double the lead on 78 minutes, and Naby Keita’s 20-yard strike at the end.
Jurgen Klopp’s side tops the EPL table with 13 points from five matches.
Manchester City were held to a goalless draw by Southampton at the Etihad stadium. The EPL champions had a penalty and red card awarded against them overturned by VAR. Raheem Sterling’s goal was also disallowed for offside in the final minutes.

Wolves 0-2 Brentford
