'Great header' - Ex-Liverpool striker Michael Owen left impressed by Dennis' goal vs Norwich

Published: September 18, 2021

Watford picked up a big three points on matchday five in the Premier League, beating Norwich City 3-1 at Carrow Road.

Super Eagles striker Emmanuel Dennis got the Hornets up and running in the seventeenth minute, scoring Watford's first away goal in this season's Premier League in the process.

The former Club Brugge star showed his desire as he sprinted into the box and powered a header past Canaries goalkeeper Tim Krul following an excellent delivery from Kiko Fenenia, before Teemu Pukki leveled the score for the hosts ten minutes before the break.

Ismaïla Sarr, who can be a real threat down the flanks, netted a second half brace to secure all three points for Xisco Muñoz's men.

Dennis has been reinvented in his new colours and his strike today versus Norwich means he has now been involved in three goals in his first five matches in the Premier League.

Speaking at the end of the game, former Liverpool and Newcastle United striker Michael Owen was impressed by the goal scored by the Nigeria international.

Owen said on Premier League Productions : "He leaps in front of his man really well and it's a great header as well. There was a couple of really good goals from Watford today.

"Pukki had the equaliser, does well to get onside and a near post finish".

Following their second win of the season, Watford are 11th in the provisional standings ahead of the visit of Newcastle United to Vicarage Road next weekend.
