Penalty heartache as watfordfc go out of the Carabao Cup
Another flying start but a very different ending as Watford were knocked out of the Carabao Cup 4-3 on penalties at Stevenage.
As the head coach said afterwards, it was a night when he learned more about his players, their adaptability to his way of playing and changing shape during games and their overall attitude and spirit than he did from the first minute onwards on Saturday. But then Ryan Porteous blazed over the bar, Healey his effort saved and, although Kone converted his spot kick, Stevenage didn’t miss again to wrap up a 4-3 win.
In the 21st minute the home side should have been back on terms. Hoedt and James Morris collided on the left, kane Smith got away and crossed. Jake Forster-Caskey shot goalwards and Hamer made a fine block, recovering to also hold a follow-up effort. Forster-Caskey's right-wing corner was knocked up in the air, Josh March controlled and then beat Hamer with a clever bicycle kick.
