Adrian Mariappa slams "embarrassing" Watford performance

Watford defender Adrian Mariappa admits that his side are embarrassed following their 5-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield.

Watford defender Adrian Mariappa has admitted that his side's 5-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool this afternoon is an "embarrassing scoreline" for the club.

Mohamed Salah scored four and set up another as Liverpool ran riot at Anfield, picking up a comfortable victory which lifts them up to third in the Premier League table.

The defeat is Watford's second-biggest of the season, and Mariappa acknowledged that they were punished for their mistakes.

"It was a real tough day for the whole team - 5-0 is a pretty embarrassing scoreline," he is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.

"Poor defending on the whole from us, losing ball in key areas and they really capitalised on those mistakes.

"They are a good side with so much quality and we got punished. Today Salah was on it and he punished us. We will have to look at all the goals, like we usually do, and move onto the next game."

The defeat leaves Watford 11th in the table.
