  • 3' A stunning finish from Andre Gray — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 6' A stunning finish from James Tarkowski — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 11' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 16' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 21' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 26' Burnley FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 31' Jeff Hendrick has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 36' Daryl Janmaat has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 41' A meaty challenge results in booking for Will Hughes on 41.
  • 46' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ben Foster suffering a number of foals already.
  • 48' Sensational shot from Troy Deeney. Watford FC is back in the lead.
  • 51' Will Hughes makes no mistake. The score reads 1-3 and Watford FC are in front.

  • 70' The Burnley FC bench stirs into life. Jeff Hendrick is withdrawn and Sam Vokes gets his opportunity.
  • 74' A change in the Burnley FC ranks — Stephen Ward exits the field as Charlie Taylor enters on 74.
  • 79' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 79 minutes.
  • 83' Another change for Watford FC made on 83 minute. Will Hughes leaves to be changed by Femenia Far.
  • 88' It looks surprising Burnley FC does not make any changes. Chris Wood has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 89' Watford FC ring the changes. Troy Deeney has done his job and it is now time for Isaac Success to step up.
  • 90' Daryl Janmaat picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-3.
