William Troost-Ekong saw 90 minutes of action as Watford recorded a 3-0 win over Birmingham City on Saturday (Mar 20) in the English Skybet Championship.
The Nigerian international was solid at the back for the Hornets as they made it 9 wins from their last 10 games and 5 in a row.
Goals from Ken Sema, Nathaniel Chalobah, and Andy Gray made for a comfortable scoreline for the hosts.
In the same game, Nigerian international Isaac Success made his first league start in two years.
After the match, Troost-Ekong took to social media to celebrate the result: “5 WINS ON THE BOUNCE! Well done to the team, staff, and everyone involved!!! +3.”
