Arsenal fans are desperate to award Watford winger Ismaila Sarr a statue outside the Emirates Stadium following his double against Liverpool.

Sarr scored twice and assisted once as Watford defeated Liverpool 3-0 to hand 'The Reds' their first Premier League loss of the season.

The result means that Arsenal's 2003/2004 team will remain the only Invincibles in Premier League history for at least another year.

Gunners fans are keen to show their appreciation for Sarr by immortalising him outside their ground.







The shock result marks the first time Liverpool have lost in the league in 44 games - the last loss being the 2-1 defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on 3 January 2019.

Despite the loss, Liverpool are still top by 22 points and manager Jurgen Klopp is taking the loss as 'rather positive'.

"The most important thing is congratulations to Watford, well deserved," Klopp told The Guardian.

"The first half there were football things that didn't work out for us and overall we didn't create enough and that's what leads to a defeat. But it's just one football game and we have to admit that Watford was the better team."

He went on to explain that his side won't dwell on not being to match or better Arsenal's 49 game unbeaten run.

"Not really, because I don't think you can break records because you want to break records. You break records because you are 100% focused on each step.

"It was clear that at some time we would lose a game. We didn't wait for it but it was clear that it would happen. Tonight it happened. I see it rather positive. Because from now on we can play free football again. We don't have to defend or try to get the record we just can try to win football games again."
