Nigeria international, William Troost-Ekong has expressed his delight after scoring his first goal for Watford in their 3-2 victory over Coventry City in Saturday’s Championship game.
The 27-year-old joined the Hornets in the summer from Italian club Udinese and was afforded his fifth appearance at Vicarage Road.
The Super Eagles defender powered home a header past goalkeeper Marko Marosi from James Garner’s well-taken corner.
“It was an important moment and set-pieces are so important in this league, you see how they can change games. It’s been going against us so far this season so to score from a set-piece is massive.
“I’m happy I managed to contribute like that today and hopefully we can get some more during the season,” Troost-Ekong told the Club website.
Watford took the lead through Andre Gray’s effort but conceded two goals in the space of one minute before Troost-Ekong drew level before Senegalese Ismaila Sarr struck the winner.
Troost-Ekong will hope to replicate his impressive performances for Nigeria when they face Sierra Leone for the AFCON qualifier on November 13 and 17.
