  1. FULL-TIME- WATFORD 1-0 SWANSEApublished at 16:54

    That's it. Watford have won their first league match of the season - and scored their first home goal in the league.

    The town centre will be wild tonight - although it is most Saturday nights to be fair.

  2. CLOSE!published at 90+7 mins

    Watford's Steven Berghuis has two shots saved by Heurelho Gomes after the home side break, and then at the other end Federico Fernandez heads well wide with a free header from six yards out. Oh Federico!

    Watford fans have just seen the 'added time' board. They are not happy. Fact.

  4. INJURY TIME UPDATEpublished at 88 mins

    Seven minutes! Yup, seven.

  5. Postpublished at 83 mins

    He's had quite a second half has Etienne Capoue. 

    The ex-Tottenham man breaks away from his marker, 50 yards from goal, gets to the edge of the area, but fails to find team-mate Steven Berghuis who was in that part of the pitch commonly known as 'acres of space'. 

  6. GOOD SAVE!published at 80 mins

    It's Watford again on the attack. Etienne Capoue tries another angled shot that is saved low by Lukasz Fabianski.

    Swansea are on the attack - desperately seeking an equaliser. Ki Sung-yueng, Jefferson Montero and Eder are on. Manager Garry Monk wants something from this.

    Despite being a man down, Watford are back on the attack. Jurado sees his effort blocked inside the area and then Etienne Capoue fires his angled shot wide.

    Watford 1-0 Swansea

    A long punt by Heurelho Gomes, a knockdown by Troy Deeney and a finish by Odion Ighalo makes for a simple but beautiful goal in graphical form for Watford. The question-mark shows that the Swansea player who conceded the initial free-kick is unknown, although it could also ask where the Welsh side's defence went.

    "Your team is a goal up, comfortable in the game, and then Valon Behrami does something idiotic. He stamped on him, he meant it, it's a red card and the referee had no choice, Idiotic."

  11. RED CARD FOR WATFORDpublished at 64 mins

    Ah the twists of football. Valon Behrami is sent off for pretty much a studs-on-leg challenge on Andre Ayew. It looked six of one at first, but the replay showed that the Swiss player was a little bit naughty.

    "Ashley Williams should clear the ball but at the same time it's good play from Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo. They linked up so well in the Championship and are doing it again. Watford have been the better side today and deserve their lead."

    GOAL - Watford 1-0 Swanseapublished at 59 mins

    Odion Ighalo (59 mins)

    He went close moments earlier and now he's scored -Odion Ighalo nets Watford's first Premier League goal at home this season.

    A long punt into the area is nodded into the path of Ighalo by Troy Deeney. The Nigerian, who joined from Udinese in 2014, slams in from eight yards.

    Hornets fans are buzzing. Sorry!

  15. CLOSE!published at 59 mins

    Odion Ighalo goes close. The strong attacking Watford player brushes off his defender to fire wide from six yards.

  16. Postpublished at 55 mins

    Remember Watford have yet to score at home this season - this is their third attempt. The small consolation is that their opponents have failed to score at Vicarage Road too. 

    The latest effort to end that barren run falls to Almen Abdi, but his tame shot fails to trouble Lukasz Fabianski.

    We wait.

    Swansea have another corner but Jonjo Shelvey - the darling of English football... against San Marino - scuffs his kicks.

  18. Postpublished at 49 mins

    Well that was interesting. Swansea's Neil Taylor plays in a low swinging ball from the right that Sebastian Prodl mis-kicks for a corner. The set-piece comes to nothing.

    The players are back out on the pitch. Is a draw the likely outcome?
