Deeney & Ighalo send Watford into top half

Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo both scored as Watford earned a deserved win over struggling Norwich.

Captain Deeney smashed home from the spot after strike partner Ighalo had been fouled by Alex Tettey.

Nigeria's Ighalo, who gave Norwich's defence huge problems, added a second in stoppage time when he slotted in.

Norwich keeper Declan Rudd also twice denied Ighalo with good blocks as well as producing a great save to push away his close-range toe-poked shot.
