Last weekend, Watford faced a challenging situation regarding their penalty taker during the match against Blackburn Rovers. With their first-choice option, Tom Dele-Bashiru, unavailable due to injury, manager Tom Cleverley had to quickly adapt. After a tense moment leading up to the penalty, midfielder Edo Kayembe stepped up and scored the decisive goal, securing a 1-0 victory for the Hornets. Cleverley praised the leadership shown by Moussa, who took the initiative to consult him about who should take the penalty. Although Cleverley aimed to assign the responsibility to one of their most confident players, Kayembe ultimately delivered under pressure, showcasing his composure in a critical moment.
