Decisive figure steers Watford with set-piece strike and supply

Edo Kayembe put Watford ahead in the 26th minute with a low finish from a corner, as Blackburn Rovers and Watford drew 1-1 at Ewood Park.

The midfielder arrived through the centre to guide the ball into the bottom right after a second phase corner (26.). In the first minute of first half stoppage time, he then supplied Marc Bola for a shot that was saved.

After the restart, he triggered a break for the Hornets to tee up Luca Kjerrumgaard's chance (48.). Later, his driven cross located Nestory Irankunda, whose effort went over (77.).

He finished with five key passes, six recoveries and 10 successful final third passes, underlining him as the Hornets' organiser and primary supply line through midfield.
