Watford of England striker, Isaac Success was back into the spotlight in England’s lower division, as it took a lengthy check by mach officials to exonerate him from any wrong doing in a build-up that led to The Hornets’ winning goal, megasportsarena.com reports.
With Success going full throttle to justify his inclusion in the squad, Watford strengthened their grip on gunning for automatic promotion back to the English Premier League, but it came with a controversial win over struggling Sheffield Wednesday.
An early own goal from Tom Lees was all that separated the sides, but the offside flag had been up when he tried to beat Success to Ismaila Sarr’s cross – only for the officials to determine that the Nigerian attacker had not been interfering with play.
It was a bitter blow for The Owls, who were without manager Darren Moore after he tested positive for COVID-19 and Wednesday are now seven points adrift of safety, while Ovie Ejaria was also on song for Reading, who remain fifth and sixth respectively with Barnsley, after a 1-1 draw at Oakwell.
Ejaria put The Royals in front, but Alex Mowatt’s penalty ensured the spoils were shared, thereby leaving Barnsley on 65 points, Reading on 63, and Bournemouth a point further back on 62, with a game in hand on both.
In England’s developmental sector, Chelsea youngster, Bryan Fiabema ended his goal drought, as he helped The Blues beat AFC Fylde 2-0 at Kingsmeadow and progress to the fifth round of the FA Youth Cup.
The Norway-born striker last found the net for the Blues this season in a 3-1 loss to Liverpool in a Premier League 2 game on October 24, 2020 – 160 days ago – but he was on target in a rescheduled 2019-2020 FA Youth Cup fixture against Manchester United on October 30.
The 18-year-old Fiabema played 11 games in total before ending his goal drought two minutes after the restart, as he nodded home a great ball from Vale to open the scoring, and came close to doubling the advantage before the hour mark but missed the target as he tried to generate enough power on his header.
In the 62nd minute, Fiabema steer his header on target in a game that saw former Golden Eaglets goalkeeper, Prince Adegoke play all 90 minutes on his FA Youth Cup debut for Chelsea and kept his first clean sheet after four matches in all competitions.
