Emmanuel Dennis named Watford’s Player and Goal of the month

Emmanuel Dennis has been voted both the Watford’s Stake Player of the Month and Goal of the Month awards for November.

The Nigeria international has enjoyed a highly successful start to life at Watford, winning his second Player of the Month gong of the season, having won it previously in August.

Dennis scored two goals and provided two assists in the month which saw the Hornets face stiff competition, with matches against Arsenal, Manchester United and Leicester City.

The 24-year-old also won a penalty in the final game of the month, which was ultimately converted by Joshua King. Dennis’ fine showings have also resulted in a nomination for the Premier League Player of the Month award.

In a competitive poll, Dennis topped the supporter vote ahead of Joshua King, Leanne Bell and Anne Meiwald.

His clever finish against Leicester City on November 28 was picked as the goal of the month.

Despite the snowy conditions around him, Dennis showed composure and skill to take a stuttered touch in front of goal to trick the opposition, before lifting the ball over goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.
