Super Eagles defender William Troost-Ekong and his Watford teammates have gained promotion back to the Premier League.
Ekong, who featured for the entire duration, helped Watford secure promotion with a 1-0 victory over Millwall on Saturday afternoon
Senegalese winger, Ismaila Sarr’s 11th minute penalty was enough to secure all three points and to the Premier League.
It is Watford’s fourth promotion to the Premier League, and the win against Millwall means they have equaled their record of eight consecutive home league wins.
