Troost-Ekong Revels As Watford Close In On Premier League Return

William Troost-Ekong saw 90 minutes of action as Watford recorded a 3-0 win over Birmingham City on Saturday (Mar 20) in the English Skybet Championship.

The Nigerian international was solid at the back for the Hornets as they made it 9 wins from their last 10 games and 5 in a row.

Goals from Ken Sema, Nathaniel Chalobah, and Andy Gray made for a comfortable scoreline for the hosts.

In the same game, Nigerian international Isaac Success made his first league start in two years.

After the match, Troost-Ekong took to social media to celebrate the result: “5 WINS ON THE BOUNCE! Well done to the team, staff, and everyone involved!!! +3.”

With eight games to go in the English second tier, Watford are in a firm position to make an instant return to the Premier League after their relegation last season.

The Yellow Army are second in the table on 75 points, 8 points adrift of Norwich City in the first place, and 6 ahead of Swansea City who have a game in hand and in third place.
