“They understand how to attack the space’ – Watford’s Munoz delighted with Sarr & Dennis combination

The Spanish tactician hails the combination of the two African players after the Hornets picked up their first win of the season

Watford coach Xisco Munoz was delighted to see how Ismaila Sarr and Emmanuel Dennis worked together to hand his team a 3-2 win in their Premier League opener against Aston Villa on Saturday.

It was Dennis who opened the scoring in the 10th minute after combining well with Sarr, before the Senegal winger added the second in the 42nd minute after receiving a pass from the Nigeria international.

Watford then raced into a 3-0 lead when Cucho Hernandez scored in the 67th minute and despite a late rally by Villa, with goals from John McGinn in the 70th minute and new signing Danny Ings from the penalty spot in stoppage time, Watford held on to bag maximum points.
