Crystal Palace vs Watford
VAR is looking at a possible nudge in the back of Kamara by Olise. There wasn't a lot of contact by the Frenchman and after a long check, the decision stands, Palace do have a penalty.

PENALTY TO PALACE! Eze whips a looping cross into the far post and Olise heads it towards goal. Kamara's arms are up and it hits him. The referee has a long think about it before finally pointing to the spot. VAR is having a look at this though...

It's a great counter from Watford, with Cleverley bursting forward down the left before he clips it into Sarr at the near post. It bounces off the forward towards goal and Ward hooks it away from King.

Watford just haven't found their footing yet and when Samir wins it back, he tries to play it back to Foster. It's a wild backpass to his keeper, and he's given away a needless corner, and luckily for him, nothing comes of it.

It's a lovely switch of play from Andersen out to Zaha on the left and he cuts inside before trying to thread it through for Edouard. Three Watford defenders crowd him off it, but Palace quickly win it back.
