    GOAL: Watford 1-0 Birminghampublished at 16:52 British Summer Time 16 September 2023

    Mileta Rajovic (90+1 mins)

    He's barely had a sight of goal all afternoon but Mileta Rajovic might just have grabbed all three points against the 10 men with a looping header past John Ruddy from Yaser Asprilla's cross less than a minute into the seven added at the end of 90 minutes.

    Is this to be a sixth straight defeat for Birmingham at Vicarage Road, all without scoring a goal?
