English Premier League 2016

West Ham vs Watford 2:4

Goal West Ham United: 
• Antonio (5’, 33 minutes)

Goals Watford:
• Ighalo (41'minutes)
• Deeney (45'+2minutes)
• Capoue (53'minutes)
• Holebas (63'minutes)

Watford produced a stunning performance to come from 2:0 down to beat West Ham.

That's certainly the comeback of the season so far.

West Ham were cruising at 2:0 up but Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeny levelled before the break.

Etienne Capoue's third goal of the season put Watford in front and Jose Holebas sealed a quite remarkable win for Walter Mazzarri's men.

Capoue scored his third goal of the season when a deep ball came to him at the back post and Holebas grabbed his first goal in English football with a shot from the edge of the area that Adrian should have done more to keep out.
