That's right - 6. At The Den. By six different scorers. A terrific showing away that puts Watford in 5th place in the League.
Millwall, League One playoff winners last year, had not lost a home match since November of last year and sat in the playoff zone in the Championship going into today's match.
John Eustace started the scoring conga line in minute nine off a Dow Cowie corner (his first of three assists on corner kicks). Jordon Mutch followed four minutes later with his first goal for Watford - a left-footed shot into the bottom left from six yards out on a rebound of a suspected handball (Millwall's).
The match was held up for a bit due to a pitch invasion by a shirtless Millwall fan who squared off against Lloyd Doyley.
When the stewards had restored order, the Hornets picked up where they had left off, Marvin Sordell scored in the last moments of the half from another suspected handball, this time from eight yards out.
The carnage continued when Watford went up 4-0 as Adrian Mariappa headed another Cowie corner into the net in the 55th minute, but Liam Trotter retaliated less than a minute later to put Millwall on the board.
Danny Graham scored his sixth of the season in the 77th minute from 12 yards out and Martin Taylor scored his first in a replay of Mariappa's goal one minute into added time.
This is the funnest game I've listen to so far as a Watford fan and the result can't help but raise expectations.
The next match sees Middlesbrough at Vicarage Road as the Hornets look once again for their first home win of the season. Kickoff is 9:00 am St. Louis time.
