Decisive figure ignites Watford in stalemate with West Ham United | OneFootball

Amin Nabizada put Watford ahead in the 19th minute with a right-footed strike into the top right corner, as the game finished 1-1 against West Ham United.

The winger burst from the left on a fast break, opened his body and guided his finish high beyond Mads Hermansen. The Hornets had a platform, but their advantage was wiped out by an own goal (27.).

He stayed lively before the interval, threading a pass that released Jordan Zemura for a blocked effort (44.). The Hammers struggled to contain his breaks from the inside left channel as he repeatedly carried play into advanced areas.

Nabizada's end product matched the eye test: two attempts, one goal, and 18 of 20 passes completed. He also produced nine successful passes in the final third, showing the composure to connect moves before being withdrawn on the hour.

Because the hosts found him early in transition and let him isolate defenders on the counter, his movement kept The Irons off balance and drew them towards their right, opening lanes for secondary runners from midfield.

The Hornets visit Swansea City next in the Championship, while the Hammers host Wolves.
