Emmanuel Dennies with a fantastic header for scoring his 7th goal of the season.
The goal was Dennis’s seventh of the season in the Premier League, with Mohamed Salah (13 goals and 9 assists) the only player to have been involved in more goals than the 24-year-old Nigerian’s 12 ( 7 goals, 5 assists) in the league.

William Troost-Ekong committed another costly error in the Premier League.
Bryan Mbeumo stepped up to calmly convert to seal a come from behind win for the Bees, who moved up to ninth on the table with 20 points while Watford is down to 17th on 13 points.
Troost-Ekong’s coach, Claudio Ranieri, was not a happy man in the end as he berated the manner his side lost the game after conceding what he described as ‘stupid’ goals.
“It’s important to not make mistakes,” the Italian told the club’s website. “We conceded two stupid goals. The last goal is three mistakes. That’s football, that’s the Premier League, but now we need to focus on the next match. We lost the first battle, but there are so many more in front of us.”
