MKM Stadium, Hull – Watford’s English-born Ghanaian winger, Kwadwo Baah, proved to be the game-changer as the Hornets salvaged a dramatic 1-1 draw against Hull City in a fiercely contested Championship clash on Tuesday.

Hull City seemed on course for their sixth victory over Watford when Chris Bedia broke the deadlock in the 82nd minute. Bedia latched onto Marvin Mehlem’s well-timed assist to fire a clinical finish into the net, capping off a period of dominance for the home side.

But Watford refused to bow out quietly. The introduction of Kwadwo Baah in the 61st minute injected much-needed energy into their attack. The 20-year-old winger’s direct play and creativity eventually paid dividends in the 88th minute. Baah delivered a perfectly weighted pass to Rocco Vata, who slammed the ball home from close range, sending the traveling fans into raptures.

Despite Hull’s higher xG of 1.47, the Tigers failed to create any clear-cut opportunities, leaving them to lament two dropped points. Watford, meanwhile, remain within reach of the Championship’s mid-table, buoyed by the impressive contribution of their rising star, Baah.

Watford will now look to build on this momentum when they host West Brom on December 15, with Baah expected to play a pivotal role once again.
