Watford 1-0 Swansea City: Ighalo gets Watford up and running

Goal-shy Watford finally managed to find the net and secure its first win of the season as Odion Ighalo's goal beat Swansea City.

Odion Ighalo's second-half strike ended Watford's goal drought and its winless start to the Premier League season as it beat Swansea City 1-0 at Vicarage Road.

Quique Sanchez Flores' men had not managed to find the net since their opening-day draw at Everton and rarely troubled the high-flying visitors during a lackluster first half.

Ighalo, however, struck on the hour and the home side managed to hang on for the victory despite losing Valon Behrami to a straight red card within five minutes of taking the lead.
