Moussa Sissoko scored his first goal since returning to Watford, securing a 2-1 victory over Derby County at Vicarage Road. Derby took an early lead in the second minute when Ebou Adams, making his first start since permanently joining from Cardiff after a loan spell, fired the Rams ahead. However, Watford quickly responded with a spectacular equalizer from Vakoun Bayo in the first half, a goal that was highlighted by his exceptional effort. The first half also saw Derby assistant manager Richie Barker sent to the stands.
In the second half, Watford continued to assert their dominance. In the 76th minute, ex-France international Sissoko, in his second spell as a Hornet, netted the decisive goal, completing Watford’s comeback and maintaining their flawless start to the season. The team has now won all three Championship games along with an EFL Cup tie.
