"It took just seven minutes for Kjerrumgaard to punish the Robins' backline after some neat play down the left. Edo Kayembe laid it into the Dane, who rifled into the roof of the net from close range."
"But Twine equalised in the 36th minute, with Adam Randell recycling Tomi Horvat's half-cleared free-kick to set up the glancing header."
"Ngakia stepped up with the winning moment, though, bending his sumptuous strike from the edge of the box past the helpless Radel Vitek in the 77th minute to give Watford all three points, while denting the hosts' own play-off hopes in the process."
"But they have been strong on the road, with just one loss in their last eight away from home (W2 D4), only losing at Southampton in that time."
