On Friday afternoon, Watford and Norwich found themselves in a duel between desperate in the Premier League. Both teams are fighting relegation in the competition and, this afternoon, better for Norwich, who, even away from home, won 3-0 and managed to breathe a little.
The match was also marked by a power outage in the second half that, as rarely happens in English football, left the game paralyzed for almost 15 minutes.
However, before that, after a 0-0 in the first half, Josh Sargent took advantage of a cross to catch it on the fly and send it to the goal. The ball exploded on the crossbar and barely crossed the line, so technology was needed to validate the shot.
Not long after that, the spotlights began to fail, and shortly after the light returned to normal and the match restarted, the same Sargent rocked the net once more. At the end of the match, Norwich still extended with an own goal from Juraj Kucka, to close the day’s account.
With the result, Watford is very complicated in the table, with 14 points, in 18th place. Even with the victory, Norwich’s situation is still not the best, but now a little more relieved. The team is the first out of sticking, with 16 points.
For the next round of the Premier League, Watford will visit Burnley, at 15:00 (BrasÃlia time) on the 5th of February. On the same date, but at 12:00, Norwich will face Wolverhampton, for the FA Cup.
