Watford 2-1 Leicester City 6-1-7 19 pts.

The Hornets held on through seven (!) minutes of injury time - admittedly, against but ten men - to nab three points at home against The Foxes.


A run by Almen Abdi put Watford ahead at the 14th minute and the Hornets kept control through the half. They doubled thier lead when Fernando Forestieri caught a rebound of Daniel Pudil's shot on Kasper Schmeichel at the 68 minute mark.

The two goal lead lasted only three minutes until David Nugent slipped one past Manuel Almunia. Leicester's counter fizzled once Zak Whitbread was sent off for his second yellow and Watford held through the added time, made even longer by Fitz Hall's injury.

The next match is tomorrow, Tuesday, November 6. Another home match, Watford hosts Millwall with the kickoff (now that the US has synced back up on Daylight Savings Time with the rest of the world) at 1:45 pm St. Louis time.
