Talented youngster Domingos Quina marked his Watford debut with a superb 25-yard thunderbolt as Javi Gracia’s side beat Reading 2-0 in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
Isaac Success put Watford ahead with a goal from close range in the first half. That goal from Success set the Hornets on their way to the third round of the Carabao Cup.
A wonder goal from Quina just after the hour mark, secured the visitors’ safe passage to the next stage.
Gomes made some decent, routine saves in the game but was never really tested by the Reading attackers.
Navarro was an energetic presence at right-back, always on the move to offer width to the team. Tried some ambitious efforts but they were way off the mark.
Prodl kept things tight at the back and put in some excellent challenges.
Mariappa started alongside Prodl in central defence and barring a few shaky moments, he had a good game.
Masina bombed up and down the left as he showed great enterprise at left-back. He played a big hand in Watford’s opener.
Femenia was full of running as he provided a great attacking outlet from the right-hand side of midfield. His crossing was fantastic, as it often caused problems to the Reading defenders.
Never looked like he returned from a long injury layoff. Chalobah added a lot of bite to Watford’s midfield and always looked for the forward passes. He will certainly be pleased with his display against the Royals.
Shielded the defence very well, often staying so close to the two centre-backs. From a deeper position, Wilmot offered the ammunition with his crisp passing. Never looked for the Hollywood pass or the cross but kept things simple.
A debut worth remembering for the young Domingos Quinos! The youngster was a bundle of energy in the middle of the park, creating problems for the Reading defenders with his pace and directness. Scored a pin-missile in the second half as he helped the Hornets reach the next round of the Carabao Cup.
Sema rarely threatened and lacked composure on the ball. Tried a lot to make things happen but it wasn’t just his evening.
Success started slowly but steadily picked up the rhythm. Took his goal very well and did a good job by leading the Watford line single-handedly.
Okaka should have scored but his header went wide. Showed some really good touches on the ball and kept the Royals defenders on their toes.
Was brought on with 10 minutes left in the game and did his job well.
Was brought on to chew up some minutes.
