Kalu’s free-kick in a dangerous position cleared Jordan Pickford’s crossbar and he was applauded by the fan for his influence on the team.
The match ended without a goal, but the result was very much appreciated by the crowd as already relegated Watford showed improvement after a defeat to Crystal Palace last weekend.
