The away team Watford took the initiative to head M.U in search of an early goal, however, the muscle strength of Deeney and his teammates was not enough to drill De Gea's net. Each of the opponent's storms was easily solved by the Spanish goalkeeper.
On the contrary, M.U did not rush to organize a counter-attack or reclaim the game early. The "Red Devils" are slow and somewhat sleepy, causing Watford to fall into the trap.
In the 28th minute, receiving a pass from Shaw, Rashford escaped gently and the tire passed out of reach of the away team's goalkeeper. 1-0 for M.U and the game became more open from there.
Ole Solskjaer did not hide his intention to deal with the opponent in the first half so that a few key players could rest in the remaining 45 minutes. However, a series of attacks failed due to the lack of luck of Rashford himself or the partner Martial.
The scenario in the first minutes of the second half was quite similar to the first half when Watford were still the ones who took the initiative to push up to find an equalizer. But the opportunities passed before the bad luck from the strikers of the blue team.
Assaulting a lot but not scoring, Watford received a counter-attack from M.U in the 72nd minute. From a cross in front of the penalty area, the ball was passed wide for Martial to run in. Despite having to deal with the opponent's goalkeeper's foot-holding, the French striker still managed to get up and hit the net.
The match gradually moved into the final minutes. Watford managed to score in the 90th minute thanks to Doucoure. With a 2-1 victory, M.U temporarily rose to 4th place on social insurance with 61 points.
