Success saves Watford from home defeat

Isaac Success scored his first goal in England on Saturday as he helped Watford rescue a point in the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth in the Premier League.

The Nigeria striker, who has yet to start a league game for the Hornets since his move from Spanish club Granada CF, was again overlooked from the get go with the Watford manager, Walter Mazzari, electing to go with Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney as his preferred choices up front.

Mazzari eventually withdrew Ighalo and threw Success into the fray just before the hour and the young Nigerian forward did not disappoint.

Success struck in the 65th minute, seven minutes after his introduction, to tie the scores at 2-2 and eventually help his side claim a share of the spoils.

The goal was a header off Jose Holebas’ excellent delivery from a free kick.

It was only Success’s fourth league appearance of the season which has seen him rack up a measly 66 minutes under his belt.

Success is among the players called up by the Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr ahead of  the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Zambia in Ndola next Sunday.
