Watford - Norwich 3: 0
A big away win for Dean Smith's team, which temporarily went above the red line after being in last place most of the season.
This is the second time this season that Norwich has recorded two consecutive victories, and this time it was an important one in a direct battle against a bottom-line opponent.
Joshua Sergeant scored a great goal for the visitors in the 51st minute after a foul by Timo Poke, when three minutes later the power went out on Vicarage Cottage Road.
The game was stopped for about ten minutes, and resumed when the power returned.
From the moment the game resumed there was only one team on the field, and that was Norwich.
Three minutes after the rest of the game Sergeant completed a double (74), when Emanuel Dennis of the Cottages saw a second yellow and a red, four minutes later.
Two minutes into the 90th minute, Yurai Koczka scored an own goal, and Watford, which broke a six-game losing streak in the last round, lost again and fell below the red line in place of Norwich, who rose to 17th place.
Time to put out the fire.

Manchester United - West Ham (Saturday, 5pm, Sport2)
Manchester United will take on Old Trafford in an attempt to forget the Cristiano Ronaldo storm and after Ralph Rangnick put out the fire, he now has to prepare for a direct rival for fourth place.
The Hammers had already won earlier this season at the Dream Theater, 0-1 in the League Cup, but in the Premier League they have not done so since the 0-1 draw in May 2007, when the goal was scored by none other than Carlos Tevez.
Scott McTominy, who was replaced against Brentford due to a back injury, may be fit, but not sure he will open.
The one who will be the focus of attention on the other side is of course Jarrod Bowen, who most commentators in the kingdom call for his summons to the England squad.
Bowen became the big star of West Ham this season, with 6 goals and 9 assists in the league.

Southampton - Manchester City (Saturday, 7:30 p.m., Sports1)
After 12 consecutive league wins, City frequented the set.
Mariz, for a meeting with a team that managed to squeeze 0: 0 in the first meeting of the season.
Pep Guardiola will enjoy a full squad relative to the period and is also expected to include Nathan Eka who has returned from injury.
John Stones and Americ Laporte are set to continue at center-back, with Ruben Diaz waiting on the bench again in such a case and Guardiola has yet to decide whether Gabriel Jesus will open at the edge.
