Tom Dele-Bashiru: Nigeria striker inspires Watford triumph over Queens Park Rangers 

By Wale Mustapha

Former Nigeria youth international, Tom Dele-Bashiru scored the fastest goal to help Watford recorded 4-0 win over over Queens Park Rangers, QPR in the opening fixture of English Football League, EFL on Saturday.

The Hornets who missed promotion to the Premier League last season with an inconsistent performance started the new campaign on a positive note as they scored all the four goals in first half.

Tom Dele-Bashiru treated the Hornets to a buzzing start as he poached onto an assist by Imrân Louza and released an unstoppable strike into the bottom-left corner to give Watford the lead within 30 seconds.

The 23 year old striker who could only managed to play six games for Watford last season without any goal due to injury may have find its mojo and scoring boot again.

Louza scored the second in the 20th minutes with a brilliant long-range drive after cutting in from the right wing to leave the visitors reeling.

The third goal would soon arrived in a matter of a minutes which turned Vicarage Road into ruptures.

Brazilian talent Matheus Martins struck a third soon after with a stunning header from a well planned corner kick.

Vakoun Bayo then capped off a stunning first half for Watford, tapping in a fourth goal, giving QPR a humbling season opener.

QPR have had most wins over Watford in history but the Saturday debacle may have given the Hornets a glimpse of hope to take their revenge.

The win also gave the hosts more confidence of returning to the elite league if they maintain their momentum.
