REPORT | Slaven Bilic tastes defeat for the first time as Hornets boss as Swansea come from behind to win WatfordFC
The Hornets were undone during what proved to be a staggering 20 minutes of time added-on at the end of the second half – the game suffering a lengthy delay due to a problem with the officials’ communications equipment – due to their own defensive shortcomings when Ben Cabango was given the freedom of the penalty area to head in a free-kick.
With no fresh injury problems and none of those players currently sidelined ready to return, Bilic stuck with the same starting XI that got his time at the Vicarage Road helm off to a winning start with a 4-0 victory over Stoke City on Sunday. The visitors continued to dominate the opening exchanges, zipping the ball around confidently, while Kabasele’s inauspicious start to the contest continued, scuffing another attempted clearance before mistiming an attempted header from a cross.
Choudhury intercepted a pass in the 30th minute, leading to Sarr finding Davis on the left side of the area and the striker shifted the ball on to his left foot before seeing his shot blocked by keeper Steven Benda.Hassane Kamara lifted the ball down the left to Davis, who’d pulled out wide.
It was the visitors who were to first to ask an attacking question after the break, with Obafemi seeing a shot from the edge of the area deflected wide of the near post. The substitute’s first real involvement was to get involved needlessly after conceding a free-kick, but at the same time Gaspar went to ground, gesturing to the bench that he was unable to continue. James Morris came on in his place on the hour for his league debut, going to left-back, with Kamara moving over to the right side of the defence.
The Swans made their first change after 71 minutes when Cooper came on for Ntcham, but it was their opponents who having most of the attacking play as a stretching Davis sent a header wide from a cross.
