It seems Super Eagles forward Emmanuel Dennis is gradually rediscovering his scoring boot, as the striker has hit the target yet again, only to watch his Watford team succumb to a narrow home defeat to Huddersfield.

Emmanuel Dennis displayed his goal-scoring prowess once more, finding the net for the second time in the league, but it wasn’t enough to prevent Watford from suffering a narrow 2-1 defeat to their visitors, footballrover reports.

The Nigerian international struck in the 56th minute, latching onto Yáser Asprilla’s delivery to slot the ball home, before being substituted just three minutes later.

Despite a goalless first half at Vicarage Road, Dennis’s strike injected life into the game, breaking the deadlock and setting the stage for a tense second half.

However, Huddersfield’s Ward capitalised with two goals in quick succession, securing the win for the visitors.

Dennis’s goal against the Terriers marks his second consecutive home game finding the net since his return to Vicarage Road on loan in January.

Though he only managed one shot during his 59 minutes on the pitch, the 26-year-old made it count, showcasing his efficiency in front of goal.

In six appearances for Watford this season, Dennis has consistently featured for at least 35 minutes, with the clash against Huddersfield marking his longest spell on the field since his return.
