Three minutes that could change Watford's season

Watford are now only two points short of the play-off places

Now that is what football is all about.

Football is about moments, and there is nothing much sweeter in the beautiful game than completing a 2-0 turnaround in a matter of minutes.

It was Edo Kayembe of all players who led the charge. Two late goals in the space of three minutes from the Congolese midfielder sealed Watford's first victory away from home in a long, long time.

The game, even perhaps the whole season, would have had a completely different feel to it had we not completed the comeback to win 3-2 against Derby County.

We risked dropping unnervingly close to the relegation zone with what seemed like another inevitable away defeat. And yet instead, the victory puts the Hornets just two points outside the play-offs, with a chance to leapfrog Preston on Tuesday.

While there is no denying there remains plenty of work for Javi Gracia to do with the largely youthful squad to reach its full potential, the win highlighted positives to take as we enter a festive period where fixtures come thick and fast.

Gracia's faith in youth, including a first start for newly crowned CAF Young Player of the Year, Othmane Maamma, gives hope the manager may be in the dugout longer than most before him.

While the absence of goalkeeper Egil Selvik is a blow to the team, it is hard to criticise Nathan Baxter's performance between the sticks.

The goalkeeper swap was one of five changes made for the match, but the team spirit was definitely still on display.

It has been some time since the travelling Hornets supporters were treated to an away win, let alone one in that fashion, but that is what makes it all worth it in the end.
