The Hornets went into the game having won just one of their opening five games and appeared set for more frustration before the visitors lost Lee Buchanan to a second yellow card in the 88th minute.

Ismael’s side took full advantage, scoring twice in added time through Mileta Rajovic and Ryan Andrews, to give them a first win since the opening day of the season.

Watford boss Ismael said: “I think that if we have a review of the first five games we should have more points but we made a lot of mistakes.

“Today was important for the mental side that we finally got the reward. We forced the red card and we forced the goals.

“Hopefully that will give the confidence to our players for the next game.”
