Yellow card Etienne Capoue So close to a second for Watford as they look to open a commanding lead into the break. Benfica loanee André Carrillo sees his tap in from Richarlison's shot disallowed as he is adjudged offside by the assistant referee. Fabianski moments earlier should really have dealt better with Femenia's half-volleyed effort from outside the box, pushing the ball back into danger. Jose Holebas is incensed by Lee Mason's decision not to award him a free kick on the edge of the box, yet the visitors again fall into a settled spell of possession.
Lee Mason is again in the thick of it, taking time out to chat to Marco Silva on the touchline as he over-enthusiastically begs for a penalty. In reality it was a weak claim. Bony is booked for a desperate challenge on José Holebas as he races back to try and regain possession. His tackle is not timed well as he clatters into the left back. Mariappa pleads with Lee Mason as the referee awards Swansea a free kick just 20 yards from Watford's goal just right of centre. From Carroll's left-footed curling strike it is then the home sides side's turn to protest as the try and claim a penalty for a handball.

Finally Swansea produce some quality in the final third. Olsson's whipped cross from the left wing is so nearly met by the flying foot of Bony six yards from goal. The frustration is palpable in South Wales as the ball is played back to Fabianski with another slow piece of build-up play breaking down before it can reach the Swans dangermen of Bony and Ayew. Swansea have their first spell of continued pressure on Gomes' goal, the Brazilian keeper is forced to come off his line to collect before Federico Fernandez can steam in and head home at the back post.
Swansea have had 70% of the possession following the break, demonstrating their dominance. GOAL! Clement's changes have really altered the game and it comes to fruition! The front three of Ayew, Bony and goal scorer Abraham are all involved as the Liberty sees its first home goal of the season. Ayew does well to hook a cross to find Bony from the byline. The Ivorian striker forces a save from Gomes at his second swipe of the ball, his shot is parried and Abraham was on hand to tap in and grab his second goal in Swansea colours.
T. Abraham M. van der Hoorn Clement has been proactive with two substitutions as Watford get us underway in the second half. Abraham replaces Van der Hoorn in a bold attack-minded move. Substitution Etienne Capoue Molla Wagué Substitution Sam Clucas Roque Mesa Quevedo Clement may look to introduce some more attacking-minded talent at his disposal from the bench if this game continues in a similar vein. His most likely options would be Wayne Routledge, into his seventh season at the club, Tammy Abraham who bagged 23 goals for Bristol City last season or Portuguese international Renato Sanches.
He receives a deserved yellow card from Lee Mason. Andre Carrillo has caused all sorts of problems for the hosts in this first half. His driving run down the right sees him muscle past Mawson at the byline and eventually win a corner for his side, which is ultimately wasted. Swansea are imporving towards the latter stages of this half, at least giving their fans some hope of a comeback. Carroll's inch-perfect free kick is somehow missed by the heads of both Bony and Mike Van der Hoorn who looked to nod home at the far post. Vital defensive clearance from former Barnsley defender Mawson denies Watford a second. The England under-21 defender then inexplicably switches off at the back, his weak pass providing Gray with a shooting opportunity from a tight angle, which agonisingly creeps past the far post.

Swansea City v Watford Live Commentary, Sep 23, 2017
Swansea continute their dismal record of only managing a feeble seven shots on target this season in the Premier League. Contrasting fortunes for Watford who are on course to win three consecutive top-flight away matches for the first time in their history. HALF TIME: A chorus of boos ring around the Liberty as Paul Clement's side again fail to muster a goal in front of their own fans. Andre Gray's first goal for Watford is the difference as he capitalised on some sloppy play at the back to poke home from close range, characteristic of the Swans performance so far. Abdoulaye Doucouré with a cynical foul pulling back Leroy Fer as he looked to break towards the Watford goal.
Watford are seeing added time out very professionally and finally seem to have got back into their rhythm that saw them put in such a dominant first half performance. Goal scorer Richarlison has another penalty claim waved away as the Hornets have five minutes of injurty to see through and collect the thre points. Richarlison is handed a yellow card by referee Lee Mason for his over excuberant celebration in front of the Watford fans. GOAL! Roque Mesa, brought on by Clement to provide some creative spark, inexplicably loses possession on the half-way line to Deeney who feeds Richarlison. The Brazilian forward powers through a weak Mawson challenge and tucks past Fabianski. Assist Troy Deeney The visitors are finally creating some opportunities late in the half as they look to steal the three points.
