Have the lights gone out on Watford and Claudio Ranieri? Josh Sargent, the
American scoring two fine goals, the first a piece of volleyed improvisation, the second a fine header, before Juraj Kucka’s late own goal, pulled Norwich out of the bottom three, and for the first time this season, Watford fell into the drop zone.
A match that embraced farce, in terms of its low-quality
Football, and a lengthy floodlight failure that came in between Sargent’s second-half goals, offered plenty of evidence why both teams are where they are. At a club with owners not shy of making multiple managerial changes, Ranieri’s future can only be in severe question.
