Sargent Double Lifts Norwich Out Of Relegation Zone In 3-0 Win Over Watford

Norwich have moved out of the Premier League relegation zone for the first time this season thanks to a statement 3-0 win against Watford at Vicarage Road.

While levering the Canaries out of the bottom three, the result pushes the Hornets into it and leaves manager Claudio Ranieri under increasing pressure.

A brace from Josh Sargent made the difference, with a late own goal rounding off the scoring.

Watford dominated the first half and should have taken a lead into the interval when Moussa Sissoko failed to make clean contact with the ball right in front of goal and missed the target.

The Hornets were made to regret not turning that dominance into a goal because it was only a few minutes into the second half when Sargent scored his contender for goal of the season.

Teemu Pukki, starved of service in the first half, outmuscled the otherwise impressive Samir to send the ball to Sargent, whose scorpion-esque flick turned a poor cross into an outrageous goal. VAR checked the build for a potential foul from Pukki but the goal was allowed to stand.
