Watford’s five-game search for a win is over after one moment of quality from a young Colombian proved to be the difference in an otherwise largely dour 1-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday.
Having taking the lead though, the Hornets did play with a little more freedom and belief and the win should give them some more confidence to take to Swansea City on Tuesday night. The opening stages followed a familiar trend to other games at Vicarage Road this season, with the hosts pressing from the front and dominating possession.
But that close call sparked the home side into life, with Tom Ince putting Ngakia clear on the right and his low delivery across the six-yard box was just too far ahead of the sliding Vakoun Bayo and Pol Valentin put the ball behind before Matheus Martins could get on the end of it at the far post. Soon after, Porteous was dispossessed trying to play the ball out and then fouled Windass in a desperate attempt to retrieve the ball, which earned him a yellow card from referee Dean Whitestone as a poor first half came to a close.
But it looked like the Hornets wouldn’t escape a second time when Musaba took on and beat Lewis, only to go to ground when he was challenged and Whitestone immediately pointed to the penalty spot. The Hornets made their fourth change in the 62nd minute, with Giorgi Chakvetadze replacing Louza, while the Owls’ first substitution saw Mallik Wilks come or Musaba.
