 Troost-Ekong’s Watford Gain Promotion Back to Premier League

By Dayo Badmus, 

Super Eagles central defender, William Troost-Ekong, and his Watford teammates defeated Millwall 1-0 yesterday to seal their promotion back to the Premier League barely nine months after they dropped from the English topflight.

Senegalese Ismaila Sarr’s composed 11th-minute penalty after the winger was brought down in the box by Billy Mitchell seperated the two sides.

The win lifts the Hornets to 88 points, five behind runaway champions Norwich City as the two automatic promoted teams.

Four others are to battle in the playoffs for the other ticket.

Xisco Munoz’s side are on their best run at at Vicarage Road since 1977 – and registered a club-record 18th home triumph of the campaign.

Sarr made no mistake from the spot, stroking the ball down the middle as Lions keeper Bartosz Bialkowski dived to his left.
