Sarr scores from his own half in West Brom draw

Ismaila Sarr scored one of the goals of the season from inside his own half but also missed a late penalty in Watford’s 1-1 draw away to West Bromwich Albion.

The Senegalese forward’s sensational strike can be (and must be) seen in the tweet below as the Watford man saw goalkeeper David Button off his line and fired in a pinpoint shot. Button would have the last laugh, though.

Steve Bruce’s side drew level just before half-time when Karlan Grant fired home a well-taken leveller. The Baggies were guilty of missing chances though, having had 19 attempts during the game.

Sarr had the opportunity to put the Hornets ahead once again from the penalty spot after the forward was brought down by Semi Ajayi. 

Despite his sensational strike in the first half, this effort was tame in comparison allowing Button to make the save with the game finishing 1-1.

Now, let’s have a look at that goal...
