REPORT | An own goal and Joao Pedro gave the Hornets a much-needed three points watfordfc
A Harry Cornick own goal and Joao Pedro’s 11th of the season secured the points and made for a brighter afternoon in the spring sunshine after the dark clouds of disaffection and anger had gathered following their last home game against Huddersfield Town.
It took a fine save from Daniel Bachmann to keep his side in front after the restart and the value of that was underlined when Joao Pedro scored the second, his right-footed effort appearing to take a deflection through the legs of goalkeeper Max O’Leary. Bristol City came into the game unbeaten in three and former Hornets boss Nigel Pearson kept faith with the same side that started their 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough last time out.
The former Luton man had another chance in the 16th minute, firing over from around eight yards after a corner from the right had been flicked on as the visitors continued to have the better of the play despite trailing. However, Watford were caught napping at a corner in the 39th minute when James pulled the set-piece from the left back to Dasilva, he flighted in a cross to the back post where Andreas Weimann had got free to head back across goal but it was too far ahead of a red-shirted teammate to make the chance count.
The hosts created their first chance of the second period within a minute of the restart when Sarr played in a good cross from the right but George Tanner did well to beat Pedro to the header. Pearson responded by making his first change, bringing on Alex Scott for Cornick, with the substitute soon on the receiving end of a foul from Ryan Porteous which earned him the game’s first yellow card.
