Match Recap

Watford had gone four straight losses before finally breaking through, grinding out a goalless first hour against Charlton before Luca Kjerrumgaard settled things in the 58th minute. Jordan Zemura put it beyond doubt deep into stoppage time, slotting home in the 90+4th minute to seal a 2-0 Championship win. It's only Watford's first victory in five league games, and it lifts them off the foot of the table, though they remain 22nd on 8 points. Charlton, sitting 13th with 14 points, arrived unbeaten in their last meeting with Watford, a draw, but leave Vicarage Road having lost this one outright, their form reading a run of draws and defeats that continued here. Neither side has a name among the Championship's leading scorers, with C. Larin's 15 goals still the division's benchmark figure elsewhere. For Watford, this was about relief as much as quality, a match settled by two sharp finishes either side of a long, scoreless stretch. Catch both goals, including Zemura's stoppage-time finish that put the result beyond doubt, in the highlights.
