The Watford Yank's house is in the midst of renovation and, to make a long story short, I only caught the last ten minutes or so but what a ten minute run!
The Hornets had come from behind once already to even the score in the first half with a Martin Taylor goal from close in, but the second of a brace from Owen Garvin at 29 minutes gave Palace a 2-1 lead they carried deep into the second half.
Crystal Palace's tactic of playing back to preserve the lead and absorb Watford pressure backfired on them in the 88th minute when loanee Almen Abdi found the next from outside the box.
The score tied with five minutes of added time, Matej Vydra gave Gianfranco Zola his first Watford win as manager and kicked off the 2012-13 season with three points.
The next match is tomorrow, Tuesday August 21st, when Ipswich Town pays a visit to Vicarage Road. Kickoff is 1:45 St. Louis time.
