Jake Livermore has never been much of a goalscorer. And yet he celebrated the first of two smoothly delivered strikes from the edge of the QPR area with the nonchalance of the regular marksman. The second, too, was greeted with a knowing smirk.

“The big man turns up and scores an absolute belter,” said Watford’s goalkeeper Ben Hamer, equally without whom Watford would not have claimed three points in their chase for the Championship playoffs. “Giving it the Cantona, wasn’t he?”
