Dennis makes Watford history in Norwich victory

Super Eagles striker Emmanuel Dennis has become the second player to score Watford’s first home and away goals in a Premier League season after his opening goal against Norwich City on Saturday.

Before Dennis’ goal at Carrow Road, Etienne Capoue was the only player to achieve the feat for Watford in the 2016-17 campaign.

The Nigeria international drew first blood for the visitors after powering his header past goalkeeper Tim Krul in the 17th minute.

It was Dennis’ second goal of the season after he opened his Premier League goal account in their 3-2 win over Aston Villa on August 14.

Towards the end of the first half, Teemu Pukki canceled out the opener with his 35th-minute opener for Norwich.

After the restart, Senegal’s Ismaila Sarr powered Watford to victory with his second-half double.
