Watford 3 Southampton 2

Well it was Sunday so I thought it appropriate to visit my place of worship this afternoon!!

The visit was well worth it today as an entertaining game ensued in front of the live Sky Sports cameras as Watford underlined their promotion credentials with a performance of character, which saw them come from behind to snatch three well deserved points.

The game started well for Watford with a host of chances being missed before Dan Shittu met a Tommy Smith cross to head in the opener on 42 minutes. The lead lasted only two minutes as Gregorz Rasiak equalised on the stroke of half time.

The second half saw Watford go close on three seperate occasions with Southampton Keeper Kelvin Davis in fine form. Then just after the hour, disaster struck as nathan Dyer curled in a lovely shot to put Southampton ahead with only their 4th attempt of the game.

This however sparked Watford out of their Sunday afternoon slumber and they again attacked with vigour. This paid off on 82 minutes when Tommy Smith put Lloyd Doyley clear down the right wing; the cross which followed said "tap me in" and Sub Darius Henderson duly obliged.

Watford were not done there however and continued to lay seige to the Southampton goal. Right on full time a corner from Jordan Stewart was partially cleared to Gavin Mahon, who drilled in a shot which was blocked and fell at the feet of Hendo again for him to stab in the winner and gain Watford three well deserved points.

This win means 4 out of 5 for the Golden Boys and top spot in the Championship table.
