QPR 1-2 Watford: Jake Livermore scores two goals in FIVE MINUTES to see Valerien Ismael's side emerge victorious... and extend QPR's win-less league run to seven games

Jake Livermore had only scored three goals in the last three-and-a-half years — then along came two in five minutes.

The former England man was the unlikely hero as Watford condemned lowly QPR to a fifth defeat in six games, pushing the Hornets back into play-off contention and keeping their hosts five points from safety.

A finer brace you will struggle to see, too. After Watford rode their luck, Livermore curled in sublimely from 25 yards out for the opener and then rifled in from outside the box again to put Valerien Ismael’s men 2-0 up.
