Deeney’s goal denies Allardyce first win as Eagles manager
Troy Deeney scored his 100th goal to square up for Watford in a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace on Monday afternoon.
But for Deeney, Sam Allardyce would have secured his first victory for his new club.
A poor offside trap from Watford allowed Yohan Cabaye to break in behind, and latched on to a pass from Townsend before a finish into the bottom left corner for Crystal Palace in the 25th minute.
A sloppy play from Prodl, who laid a terrible back-pass to Gomes, but the Brazilian did not get there, and Benteke nipped in to toe the ball past the keeper.
He was brought down in the 38th minute for a penalty which Gomes denied Benteke. 1-0 it was.
Delaney was penalised for Dragging Prodl in the 18-yard box. Deeney stepped up and smashed the penalty right down the middle in the 71st minute for his 100th Hornets goals and his first since early October to square up fir Watford.
