Troost-Ekong Grabs Another Cleansheet In Watford Win Over Rotherham United

Nigeria international and former Udinese defender, Troost Ekong played the whole game as his side Watford returned back to winning ways in their 2-0 home victory against Rotherham.

Displaying, albeit mainly in the first half, the much-needed energy and bite that was missing on Saturday, the Hornets got back on track with a merited win over Rotherham at a much happier Vicarage Road.

Christian Kabasele gave the team the early goal you always need against a lower-ranked team who set their stall out with plenty of men behind the ball and then Troy Deeney, having had a major hand in the first, scored the second around ten minutes later to drive home the advantage.

It was amazing what a difference a pair of early goals made. Sarr opened his legs for what felt like the first time in weeks; William Troost-Ekong strode out of the defence and played a slide-rule pass for Sarr, the sort Bobby Moore or Rio Ferdinand would have been proud of, and Chalobah won a thumping header in the shadow of the Graham Taylor Stand.

Ekong will be hoping to help his side as they travel to face Birmingham on Saturday, December 12.
