Dennis relishes dream debut with Watford
Watford player, Emmanuel Dennis got the opening goal over the weekend
Super Eagles and Watford player, Emmanuel Dennis enjoyed a good start to life in the English Premier League as his side beat Aston Villa in the opening day fixture.
The 23-year-old striker opened the scoring and set up another in the game.
He latched onto a low cross before coolly slotting behind Emiliano Martinez in the 10th minute.
It didn’t end there for the Yola-born forward as he fed Ismaila Sarr the ball on the edge of the box. The Senegalese took no prisoners as he fired home, pushing the Hornets to a two-goal lead, The Nations said.
The Nigerian International expressed delight in his performance as he hit the ground running in his competitive debut for the Hornets.
“I will remember this for all my life, I am really happy, I am really, really happy, I am speechless, I don’t know what to say, I am just really happy,” Dennis told Watford TV after the game.
