Oxford United analysis: The numbers that justify promotion ambition

BBC: Jeremy Ngakia’s quickfire double late in the first half earned Watford a comeback win over Oxford United at Vicarage Road.

Sky: A double from Ngakia – thanks to two blunders from Oxford goalkeeper Jamie Cumming – cancelled out a Max Alleyne own goal, as they went a goal behind for the fourth time in their last six games.

Fran’s Watford Blog: The Hornets drew level on the stroke of half time as a cross from Louza towards Vata bounced off Leigh, Cumming pushed the ball onto the post and then parried the rebound which was met by Ngakia who headed home. That certainly raised the spirits. There was four minutes of added time at the end of the half during which Wiley won a corner. Ngakia’s delivery was on target and Cumming could only help it into the net to give Watford the lead. A brace for Ngakia!! Helik was booked for a foul on Irankunda. Louza took the resultant free kick, which was mishit and fell to Ngakia, who was now on a hat trick, the Rookery yelled “shooot”, but the half time whistle went.
