Oh, my ...! What a finish, and what a strike!
On reflection, during the second-half Konsa seemed to be preparing himself for that final cracker. First, he headed a chance well wide, then he had a well-hit shot also go wide. And then that final effort ... However, I see that Mings was credited with the winner yet probably knew least about it! It's not fair on Konsa methinks - that shot was right on target, but it's true that Mings' deflection upwards stopped it from being saved by Foster.
But justice was done: Watford had been using all kinds of time-wasting tactics, and that just caused more time to be added on at the end and the cause of their eventual downfall. As Villa writer David Woodhall has mentioned, I wonder what Graham Taylor would have thought of his old club's tactics? Meanwhile, Villa just patiently - but painfully slowly at times - kept to their task. Was it deliberate - to keep the fans on edge?! Phew!
We have had just the one - but massive - defeat in the last 4 matches, and the next-up league match is versus Bournemouth, who we must see off as the matches after that just seem to get stiffer and stiffer.
But now we have a striker (!), perhaps he'll do the necessary to help keep us up.
A comment about Drinkwater. I thought I saw signs of him picking up his game at Brighton, and last night he was playing some superlative passes. He's still a tad slow though.
I was also glad to see Nakamba have a much better game, and, in successive games, Luiz has made a significant contribution as a sub.
Well, all we have to do now is beat Leicester to get to Wembley!
UTV!
