Success Scores Debut Goal For Waford Against Bournemouth

By Augustine Akhilomen

Super Eagles striker, Isaac Success opened his Premier League goal account in Watford’s 2-2 draw against Bournemouth at the Vicarage Road Stadium on Saturday.

The Nigerian international came on as a substitute for Odion Ighalo in the 58th minute to net the equalizing goal in the 65th minute with a neat finish.

Callum Wilson had given Bournemouth the lead in the 36th minute before Troy Deeney leveled the score to send the home fans chanting for more goals.

However, Joshua King extended the lead of the visiting team to 2-1 in the 63rd minute and could have made it three just seconds after scoring the second goal but poor finishing from the Bournemouth striker gave Watford some elements of hope.

With no goal since joining the team from Granada this summer, Success secured a point for the hosts as he netted a goal seven minutes after coming on for Ighalo in the 65th.

His goal will be a delight for Super Eagles Technical adviser, Genort Rohr ahead of October 9 World Cup qualifier against Zambia in Ndola.
