News about Daniel Bachmann

ISAAN KHAN AT VICARAGE ROAD: For those supporters of red and white who made the trip to Vicarage Road, their world had almost crashed. Not because Southampton was on the verge of being knocked out of the FA Cup 4th round, but not because they were on the verge of being knocked out. That may not have been ideal, but it was all about their unique, special track. The Saints tied a new 102-year record a week ago. Twenty games in a row have been unbeaten. Many of these fans will never see again in their lifetime.

RYAN WALKER AT THE KING'S POWER STADIUM: Jamie Vardy came off the bench to win another game for table-topping Leicester as they defeated a tenacious Watford team at the King Power Stadium. Vardy's second-half brace makes Enzo Maresca's team three points clear at the top of the Championship table, with Ipswich not in action until tonight's tea-time match against West Brom. For the majority of the game, Watford seemed to be frustrated, with the Foxes struggling to find a way through Valerien Ismael's defense. However, Vardy was back to Leicester's rescue once more as the former England striker scored his sixth goal of the season to hold the club's position at the top of the Championship table. After being bought down by Watford keeper Daniel Bachmann, Vardy then won from the penalty spot in stoppage time. For the assault on the striker, Bachmann was given a second yellow and subsequent red.

A statement from the North London team explaining how the player's leadership team came to the conclusion that anti-discriminatory activities can be more effective. In a visible sign of unity, the Hornets players will now be'shoulder to shoulder,' as their new response to an opponent taking the knee. The Club Ambassador Luther Blissett (pictured) said: 'Watford FC has a long history as a team that does not tolerate discrimination, and, as a trailblazer in this respect, we felt we needed to show our love in a way that anyone in the stadium can comprehend and embrace.' Fans literally can 'stand with us' in this respect! This is a decision that the Former Players Club largely supports.'

LIAM MORGAN AT VICARAGE ROAD: Fans of Blackburn may have been irked at the early kick-off time, but a moment of awe from Ryan Hedges brought them on the long journey back to Lancashire with smiles on their faces. Supporters of the hardy Rovers who made the nearly 420-mile round trip for the lunchtime opener made their feelings evident in the first half, with chants directed at the broadcasters for the match's timing. But Hedges' ostensible attempt made it all worth it. The Welsh winger picked up a loose ball on the edge of the area and flicked it over Watford's Wesley Hoedt twice, delivering it from a near-impossible position 18 minutes from time.

Watford's offensive flair is evident, but their tenacity to cling on to sluggish leads could be just as crucial in any promotion race this season. Here was an excellent example. They were already weathering increasing Burnley pressure as they went through Tom Cleverley on the stroke of halftime when Hassane Kamara was dismissed with nine minutes remaining. However, Watford's defiantly placing bodies on the line to protect the three points will greatly inspire their current boss Rob Edwards as he seeks to return them to the Premier League.

TOM COLLOMOSE AT THE HAWTHORNS: Ismaila Sarr scored one of the finest English game ever seen, but she also became a hero for Watford. Sarr had scored from 60 yards in the first half but then failed to do so from 12 as goalkeeper David Button retaliated by saving his 73rd-minute penalty. Watford was denied a victory they did not deserve.
