Visiting goalkeeper Will Mannion shone in a lively contest, turning Irankunda’s early drive behind and producing a one-on-one save after the Australia international won the ball inside his own half and exchanged a one-two with Louza and surged inside the box.<\/p>\n
The ever-creative Louza beat Mannion but not the woodwork with a second crossing attempt following a corner, and Docherty followed suit at the other end in the culmination of a Charlton set-piece routine from a free-kick won by the restored Tyreece Campbell.<\/p>\n
On his 50th Watford appearance, Doumbia then found the net with a first-time strike from Louza’s free-kick but was immediately denied by an offside flag against Saba Goglichidze, who charged clear and tested Mannion with a low shot in the first attack after the interval.<\/p>\n
A minute after his introduction, Godden scored his first goal of the season in style by controlling the ball on his chest in front of goal and swivelling to angle in a fierce finish, giving the Addicks hope of a league double in the fixture for the first time in 30 years.<\/p>\n
Irankunda had other ideas, cannoning a piledriver off the bar and forcing Mannion to tip his shot away either side of his scintillating fourth goal of the season, continuing the 20-year-old’s splendid form after netting twice for his country against fellow World Cup participants Curacao six days ago.<\/p>\n
Mannion stopped a Louza shot while Goglichidze and Mattie Pollock sent headers wide as Watford pushed for a winner, before Coady’s misfortune caused both sets of players to show their concern for the on-loan Wrexham defender.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Visiting goalkeeper Will Mannion shone in a lively contest, turning Irankunda’s early drive behind and producing a one-on-one…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":516192,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-516191","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/516191","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=516191"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/516191\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/516192"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=516191"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=516191"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=516191"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
