A rainy day at Vicarge Road but an outstanding result in a match that could have swung either way.
Nathan Ellington electrified the home crowd early on with a left-footed goal from 12 yards out in the 7th minute. The Hornets kept up the pressure for the next twenty minutes or so, but failed to find the second goal. Momentum swung the way of the Sky Blues as the half came to an end.
At the 59th minute, a goal from Best equalized the score and it looked as though Watford would have to settle for a single point, but Tommy Smith found the net in the 79th minute to give the Hornets three points in the standings.
Help came from other quarters today as well as Southampton, fighting to avoid relegation, downed league leader Bristol City 2-0 and Colchester surmounted Ipswich by the same score. The day finds Watford back up to 4th, but only two points out of first.
The next match is Wednesday when the Hornets host Barnsley, who battle Cardiff tomorrow in the semi-finals of the FA Cup. Kickoff is 1:45 pm St. Louis time.
