10th August 1999- Premier League, Sunderland 2 Watford 0 http://watford.fcdb.info/index.php?page=matches BBC Sport: England international Kevin Phillips scored twice to give Sunderland their first win of the season against fellow promoted team Watford. Daily Telegraph, 11 Aug 1999 Evening Standard, 11 Aug 1999 BSAD: Again we finished a match more than matching the opposition and ending up with nothing. Sunderland had as much play as us, but the difference between the two teams was in the finishing. I’m worried already that this is going to be the story of our season. I agree with everything that GT has said about not wanting to waste money on players, but last night showed what we are missing. We work hard and create chances, but we need to finish them off. Against other teams, chances will be even harder to make, and the ones we do, we have to score. https://www.soccerbase.com/matches/results.sd?date=1999-08-10 Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook
