EPL: Ekong's Watford Still Searching For Clean Sheet Sampson Adedeji Nigeria's Super Eagles defender William Troost-Ekong is still searching clean sheets for Watford, despite recording a resounding win at the Goodison Park on Saturday, BSNsports.com.ng can report. The Hornets rallied back from two goals down to defeat Everton 2-5 and secured their first win under their new coach Claudio Raineri. “Every game is difficult, that’s this league," said Troost-Ekong. "It’s a reasonably new team, most of the boys joined us in the last week of September, we’ve just changed manager. I don’t want to ask for time because we don’t get it this season but I think everybody is understanding we’re still working on a lot of things and we’re trying to improve every week and I think Mr Ranieri is going to help us with that. “You never want to concede in the first 10 minutes, I think that was probably their first attack. They got lucky, it ricocheted off my leg and they got the ball back and managed to score. After that, it’s uphill, but I think the boys did well. We carried on playing, carried on with our game plan and we knew we had to get a goal quickly and managed to get the equaliser. "It’s never nice conceding a goal, we’re still hunting for our first clean sheet but that’s the quality of the Premier League. “I wish this was in The Vic but hopefully on Saturday we can carry on where we left off today," he said. "I’m delighted for the team, everyone contributed today so we need to take that and still improve. We want to get that clean sheet. “All of us are happy with the result, and after the week we had last week we needed that," he said.
