Watson caps remarkable week with late game winner in big victory over Chicago

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Je-Vaughn Watson had a good feeling about Saturday night.

“I got the feeling before the game that I was going to score,” Watson said. “I told (Gershon) Koffie I was going to score. I told Kelyn (Rowe) I was going to score. It’s just a confidence.”

Watson’s instincts were ultimately proven prescient, as the veteran utility man scored the only goal in the 85th minute of the New England Revolution’s dramatic 1-0 win over the Chicago Fire, latching onto a Chris Tierney corner kick after Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson misjudged the service.
