We've had some goalscoring in this one.
Its 1-1 at halftime.
The Watford goal was by Jay's defensive mate Danny Shittu (I Shittu not).
The Southampton goal was by the Polish Striker Gregor Rasiak.

It looks like the 2nd half is just about to get underway.

Nathan Dyer has just scored for Southampton, making it 2-1 in the 70th minute.

Darius Henderson has just scored for Watford to level it up at 2-2. This has been a pretty even affair. Watford have made their 3 subs so JD will once again go the 90.
We're at the 84th minute.

If you ask me, these will be two of the teams fighting for promotion.

Darius Henderson scores again in stoppage time, and Watford win 3-2!!!
