Sarr wrapped up victory from the spot in the 87th minute after Maxwell had rashly come out to clatter Martins. Bilic made another double change and this time it proved decisive as Yaser Asprilla, on for Hamza Choudhury, produced an excellent pass to send Ferreira into the box. The youngster had made his first-team bow last week, coming on in a 2-0 FA Cup defeat at Reading.

They are key moments in the game and especially when you’re up against a side with the quality that Watford have got, you have to take them opportunities and we didn’t. I suppose the frustration and slight disappointment from our point of view is when we get opportunities in the opposition’s box, whether it’s a chance to get a shot away or make a pass or make a cross, too many times today it hit the first man, defenders get blocks and you can’t bypass those moments. You knew it was going to be a difficult one if they got the first goal, with the little bit of momentum they’ve got behind them and the crowd. Adeyemo and Sarr goals seal three points for the hosts. I think you’ll see stats of the amount of shots on target Watford had compared to us. It’s just we’ve got certain parts of the game that we have to be better than our ratio in terms of getting into areas and then creating chances has to be better. They will be seeking to take the positivity and momentum from that result and performance into this afternoon's encounter. The first goal was crucial, we spoke about it time and time again. Disappointing from the Seasiders ultimately who never really looked like scoring. Maxwell was then culpable for the second goal Blackpool conceded, as he fouled Martin in the box to give away a penalty. In a tight and congested bottom half of the table, they are a point away from safety heading into the weekend's action. We'll be live throughout the day from Vicarage Road to see if the Seasiders can do just that.
Our recommended bet for Saturday's clash at Vicarage Road comes in the form of a Watford win over Blackpool, featuring goals from both teams.
to a hard-fought three-point haul at Norwich. And yet, it is a Blackpool outfit fighting for their Championship lives who will head into Saturday’s action at Vicarage Road with confident high in the camp. This came last weekend, when the Hornets were sent packing from the FA Cup at the first hurdle, owing to a two-goal defeat at the hands of Reading.

But Watford were awarded a penalty with four minutes of normal time remaining when Martins sought to latch on to a ball over the top and was clattered into by Maxwell. After the Hornets had defended against a Seasiders attack, Asprilla received the ball in plenty of space and immediately the Hornets had a counter-attack on. It looked an even worse decision in injury time when Kone was taken out by James Husband, yet Ward deemed it worthy of no more than a talking to. Four minutes later Asprilla was to send another youngster, Matheus Martins, away on the counter-attack, his shot was saved but Adeyemo converted the rebound. Bowler went more for power with his left-footed effort which Daniel Bachmann was always behind, although he needed two attempts to safely gather the ball. With the game goalless after 68 minutes on Graham Taylor Matchday, Slaven Bilic opted to bring on Yaser Asprilla and young Academy striker Tobi Adeyemo for his league debut.
