‘I’ll remember this for all my life’ - Watford’s Dennis revels on debut goal vs Aston Villa

The 23-year-old Super Eagle scored on his first day at work and set up one goal as the Hornets claimed a home win

Nigeria international Emmanuel Dennis will never forget the moment he scored his first goal for Watford in a 3-2 win against Aston Villa on Saturday.

In the game that saw three Nigerians - Dennis, Oghenekaro Etebo, and William Troost-Ekong - make their debuts for the Hornets in the top flight, it was Dennis who celebrated most as he put the home team ahead in the 10th minute after a clever pass from Senegal winger Ismaila Sarr.
