WFC.Net goal commentary: 1  2

BBC: Watford ended a dismal run of five successive home defeats with a comfortable win over relegation-haunted Luton Town in the M1 derby at Vicarage Road.

Are top-flight battlers Luton ‘resigned to another relegation’

The Guardian: Tom Dele‑Bashiru’s early penalty put ­Watford in charge in a febrile atmosphere at Vicarage Road. A dazzling run from Giorgi Chakvetadze created the second goal for Edo ­Kayembe as Watford avenged their dismal defeat at ­Kenilworth Road in October.

Sky: The second period failed to live up to the first and Luton’s afternoon was summed up by Shandon Baptiste, one of three half-time substitutions, having to go off injured with 20 minutes remaining.

Plan wasn’t to sit back more in the second half

BHappy: Perhaps a disappointment that it’s only two, when by midway through the half we’re two-up and home free. The build up to the second involves some fine play by both Larouci and Doumbia down the left to release Giorgi and Mads Andersen’s afternoon is going to get even worse as he’s left for dead, lumbering haplessly before the Georgian cuts to the by line and pulls across for Edo to tap in before celebrating in front of the away end as befits the moment.

Fran’s Watford Blog: We hung around to applaud the players who went on a lengthy lap of honour around the pitch serenaded by “I Just Can’t Get Enough” and a timely play of “Yellow.” When they reached the Rookery, Kayembe was lurking behind Tom who was very aware of his presence but could not prevent him lifting him up while singing “Tom Cleverley olé, olé”. Sissoko came on to join the celebrations accompanied by his children, just like an end of season game. Keben, who had gone off injured, seemed to have an ice pack on his knee, but was walking around the pitch waving a flag, so didn’t appear to be badly injured. Tim Coombs was on top form on the tannoy mentioning that the Golden Boys were up to ninth in the table, three points off the play-offs, and there was no change at the bottom. This was met with cheers from the home crowd.

From the Rookery End: After a 2-0 home win against them lot up the M1, Jon, Mike, Jason and Colin gathered at the Railway Arms to discuss the win, the players who stood out, Tom’s choices before and during the game plus a special new FTRE podcast that is coming out this week.
