Dembele's delight a Hornets stinger

SIRIKI DEMBELE struck eight minutes from time to give Oxford victory over Watford and their first win in 10 Championship matches.

The winger fired home right-footed from 10 yards after referee Bobby Madley played a good advantage when Mark Harris was fouled.

It was Dembele's first goal for the club and came just three minutes after Watford had James Abankwah sent off for a second bookable offence when he fouled Przemysław Placheta.

Oxford manager Gary Rowett said: “It was a difficult game, not only the opposition but a bit of a swirling wind.”
