It was one of those games that is likely to pass into Watford folklore and you can watch all the goals from the Hornets’ memorable 7-2 victory over Blackpool again here.

Slavisa Jokanvic’s men appeared to be in trouble at the break after poor defending had allowed Andrea Orlandi and Steve Davies to give the visitors an unexpected 2-0 lead. But what followed in the second half was not just a comeback, but a rout.

Odion Ighalo got Watford up and running by scoring two minutes after the restart and within seven more minutes the home side were, incredibly, in front; Troy Deeney heading in a corner before Ighalo scored his second.

Three goals in seven minutes became four in 12 when Matej Vydra fired and by the 66th minute it was 5-2 as Gabriele Angella reacted to finish after his header from a corner hit the post.

Ighalo completed his hat-trick after Deeney had seen a shot also come back off the woodwork and the Hornets skipper again turned creator for his strike partner to net his fourth and complete a remarkable second-half scoring showing with nine minutes remaining.
