Watford defender Miguel Britos wants to quickly move on from Saturday's 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Liverpool, admitting that he struggled to handle Mohamed Salah.

Miguel Britos has confessed that he struggled to contain Mohamed Salah in Saturday's heavy defeat to Liverpool and now wants to forget all about the game.

The 32-year-old was thrown in at the deep end at Anfield, as he was given the task of trying to stop in-form Salah on his first start in more than three months.

Britos came out second best in the personal battle time and time again, with his direct opponent down the left scoring four goals and setting up the other in Liverpool's 5-0 win.

Speaking to the club's official website, the Uruguayan said: "Everyone is upset, angry as well because we didn't play the way we wanted or prepared. It's hard to lose like that. Especially me after three months out. I did a lot of mistakes and I want to forget this game as quickly as possibly and to prepare for the next game at home for three points.

"Salah is very strong player, very quick, he played on my side and today we defended with a five-three and he was always wider on my side. So a lot of times I had to run with him one-to-one and it's normal he's quicker than me and he was good.

"I'm very tired, like I said before maybe the first two three sprints after that I was in a rush, I needed to breathe, the intensity of the match was very high, because they started very strong, pressing us higher and it was very, very difficult for me today.

"I think we have to learn about this, try harder - it's the only way. I want to say sorry for the fans because they come so far and thank you for their support and I feel sorry for the result."

Britos has been used 12 times in the Premier League this term, with just three of those appearances coming in 2018.
