The ten-year-old Manchester United fan who wanted to see Liverpool lose got his wish – in the most stunning fashion.

Daragh Curley sent a letter to Jurgen Klopp pleading for the Reds to finally suffer defeat after going 44 Premier League games unbeaten and looking on course for an Invincibles season.

Klopp actually replied to the Red Devils supporter, writing: “Unfortunately, on this occasion I cannot grant your request, not through choice anyway.

“As much as you want Liverpool to lose it is my job to do everything that I can to help Liverpool to win as there are millions of people around the world who want that to happen, so I really do not want to let them down.”

And though it was against Klopp’s wishes, Daragh’s dream came true as Liverpool were stunned by Watford on Saturday with the relegation-battling Hornets winning 3-0 at Vicarage Road.

In all honesty, Watford’s win should have been even more convincing with goalscorers Troy Deeney and Ismaila Sarr both missing glorious chances to heap further misery on the Reds.

Saturday evening may have been full of misery for Liverpool, but it was all smiles for Daragh.

“He had a little jump of joy every time Watford scored alright,” the schoolboy’s dad, Gordon, told the Sun.

Unfortunately for Daragh, he didn’t actually get to watch the full 90 minutes of Liverpool’s Hertfordshire humiliation.

“We only caught bits and pieces of the Liverpool game but we got most of the second half,” added Gordon.

“Munster were also on so rugby kind of wins out here. We got all the [Watford] goals live though.”

It’s not all bad for Liverpool, however.

Sure, they may no longer be Invincibles but with 22 points separating them and second place Man City, a first ever Premier League title is almost certainly heading to Anfield over the coming weeks.
