Postmatch editorial
Neither side managed to pull the match clear
The final score was Watford 1-1 West Ham United. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Amin Nabizada put the first mark on the match 19', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Watford led Shots on target 5-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. West Ham United also shaded Corners 3-11.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made West Ham United the favourite at 56.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
