Watford 2-1 Newcastle United: Premier League – How It Happened | Soccer

Peep Peep! Watford is six points ahead of relegation zone and is excruciatingly safe in five days after his second comeback win. They were surpassed by a confident Newcastle in the first half, but were much more aggressive after the break and took a deserved win with two violent punishments from Troy Deeney.

90 min Hughes is booked for fouls on Joelinton. There will be an additional five minutes.

86 min Another change in Newcastle. Valentino Lazaro comes for the limping Jamaal Lascelles.

85 min Tom Cleverley replaces the inimitable Troy Deeney, whose two violent penalties have put Watford in the lead.

85 min Schar is booked for fouling Hughes, who was Watford’s best player today.

83 min Lascelles makes a wonderful block to deny Deeney a hat trick. Watford has been outstanding since halftime, much more aggressive.

Both punishments from Deeney contained exactly 0.00 percent nonsense. Dubravka went the right way, on his right, but it was hit by Deeney with such force that it went straight through him.

Deeney smokes it on the net!

Manquillo got too tight with Sarr, who rolled it with ease and then fell over as Manquillo tried to pull it back. That was terrible to defend.

79 min Two more changes for Newcastle: Nabil Bentaleb and Emil Krafth replace goal scorers Dwight Gayle and Danny Rose.

78 min Sarr’s brilliant deep cross is led by Schar right in front of Welbeck. That was an important piece of defense.

77 min Fernandez is booked for a foul on Sarr.

76 min It is now Norwich 0-4 Michail Antonio are Carrow Road.

74 min Hughes’ corner is well used by Dubravka. Watford looks like the most likely winners, though we all remember Romania 98.

73 min Hughes goes to the area after a challenge from Rose. No punishment. It looked like a dive.

72 min A move to Newcastle: Joelinton replaces Matt Ritchie.

71 min If it stays that way, Watford will be four points ahead of Bournemouth, whose game will be at home in Leicester tomorrow.

67 min A Dawson own goal is excluded for an offside position against Saint-Maximin.

64 min A good performance from Doucoure. He receives a pass from Deeney on the edge of the area, shifts the ball away from Shelvey, and grinds a rising drive that is a few feet wide.

62 min There was a VAR check for a possible Rose handball when Welbeck’s shot was blocked. It hit his arm, but he just fell over and the ball was deflected by another defender right in front of him.

60 min Watford is the better team now. Sarr and Deeney combine well to find Welbeck, whose shot on the turn requires two distractions and painfully grinds to the roof of the net.

59 min Watford has been a lot more on Newcastle’s face since half-time, and this approach creates a great opportunity for Deeney. Hughes pressed Fernandez, who gave Deeney the ball straight. He danced around the recovering Fernandez on the edge of the area, but struck his shot too close to Dubravka. He should have hit.

57 min “Rob,” says Mac Millings. “Regarding Neill Brown’s question and your answer, I think you’re both right. Earlier in the season, Watford’s “attack game” without Troy was terrible and improved on his return, but I suspect this is because he was essentially part of a partnership with Deulofeu before he was injured. Deeney was always better as part of the first two (Appendix A: his partnership with Odion Ighalo, but also Deulofeu and Vydra). He seems to need a quick partner to run away from him and thread his underestimated passports. “

55 min Michail Antonio scored a hat trick for West Ham in Norwich, which will officially relegate today.

53 min At the other end, Gayle’s 20-yard shot is held by the falling Foster.

Troy Deeney breathes in extravagantly, runs up and smashed the penalty right in the middle.

Yes, the punishment is there. It was relatively soft, but it was a foul.

50 min: PENALTY TO WATFORD! Femenia was stumbled by Ritchie and although it is being reviewed I think this is a penalty.

49 min Newcastle started the second half quickly. Ritchie’s cross from the left comes to Gayle, who strikes the jumping ball from 12 meters over the crossbar. It was difficult to keep the ball down.

“Good evening Rob from the dark, cold Melbourne” says Neill Brown. “This is a pretty good game as a team could help to overcrow a beach somewhere. I don’t watch every game at Watford, but I’m not convinced that Troy Deeney is mobile enough to run such a fast front and that he may be holding the team back. Interested in what you think with Watford fans? “

He looks a bit out of pace, which doesn’t help. Watford fans will know more than I do, but I think he adds so much to the team when he’s at or near his best. Alternatively, you can turn it off for Arsenal (H) once a year.

“Ah yes,” says Matt Dony. ‘Newly promoted.’ As you were. I was too excited to be able to make a David Bellion joke that obviously blinded me to the real question that had been asked. Small, childish tribalism makes us eejits. “

Speak for you – oh.

West Ham is now 2-0 in Norwich. You will be in the Premier League next season.

Peep Peep! An impressive, confident Newcastle rightly led through Dwight Gayle’s tap-in. Watford was robbed in the attack, so we might see exciting Brazilian teen Joao Pedro in the second half.
