Ghanaian-descent forward Myron Boadu set up Stephy Mavididi's winner as Watford edged Lincoln 1-0 in a vital Championship clash on Tuesday night.
Dutch-born forward of Ghanaian heritage Myron Boadu delivered when it mattered for Watford on Tuesday night, laying on the only goal in a 1-0 Championship win over Lincoln.
The former AZ Alkmaar man started the Week 14 fixture and gave the home side a relentless shift, especially in a first half where his pressing and movement kept the visitors under pressure. The breakthrough came just a minute after the restart, when Boadu created the chance for Stephy Mavididi to finish and decide the contest.
Boadu was substituted on the hour mark, with Mamadou Doumbia replacing him, but the damage was done. Watford protected their slim lead and collected all three points.
The result keeps Watford 20th in the Championship table, just two places above the relegation zone, so every point carries weight. Next up is a Saturday, November 7 meeting with Middlesbrough, where the team will look to build on this momentum.
At 25, Boadu has two goals and an assist in seven appearances this season. He is still searching for his top gear, but his showings over the last two games suggest the confidence is returning at the right time for Watford.
