BBC: Watford came from two goals down at Pride Park to register their first away victory of the Championship season and bring Derby’s five-match winning streak to an end.

Sky: Derby lost striker Carlton Morris to injury early in the first half but were in control through Dion Sanderson’s first goal in more than two years and Sondre Langas’ first for the club. Luca Kjerrumgaard reduced the arrears before Edo Kayembe levelled from the spot and then clinched a dramatic win by heading in a corner.

Fran’s Watford Blog: What joy there was at the final whistle as we celebrated the Hornets’ first victory away from home in 280 days. The players came over to greet us and were all beaming. Baah wasn’t going to miss out as he was carried over, although his jigging in front of the away end means either that his injury was not something to worry about or that he will be out for some time having exacerbated it. Javi was the last to reach the away end after all of the handshakes and he was greeted with a rousing chorus of his song.

From the Rookery End: Watford have finally cracked the away-day curse – and they’ve done it the hard way. In this episode of From The Rookery End, Jon and Jordi relive the 3–2 comeback at Derby after 280 winless days on the road, and dig into what it tells us about this team’s growing character. They talk Luca’s predator instincts in the box, Mama’s raw talent and rising expectations, another Baah’s worrying injury, and whether a switch to two up top would help. There’s praise for unflashy hero Edo Kayembe, chat about the increasingly settled back four, and reflections from the fans’ forum and the club’s direction. Plus, a gloriously fuzzy voice note from the Brigadier after one of his favourite ever Watford days.
