Events

  • 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. West Bromwich Albion FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 11' A meaty challenge results in booking for Callum Styles on 11.
  • 16' It looks surprising Watford FC does not make any changes. Alex Mowatt has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 21' Isaac Price puts West Bromwich Albion FC on the lead.
  • 26' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 28' Danny Imray is having his name booked by the referee on 28.
  • 31' Matthew Pollock was booked on 31.
  • 36' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 41' GOAL! Daryl Dike scores on 41.
  • 45' A meaty challenge results in booking for Nestor Irankunda on 45.
  • 46' Time for substitution for Watford FC. Nestor Irankunda is replaced by Imran Louza.
  • 48' James Abankwah was booked on 48.

  • 63' The whistle greets Jeremy Petris as he departs to be replaced by Jeremy Ngakia.
  • 68' 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 Nampalys Mendy suffering a number of foals already.
  • 69' What a strike from Danny Imray! The score is 3-0.
  • 74' The whistle greets Daryl Dike as he departs to be replaced by Aune Heggebo.

  • 86' It’s gonna be a card for Alex Mowatt.
