Digby and Dozzell on Target as U23s Win at Watford - Ipswich Town News
Paul Digby’s header and an Andre Dozzell penalty saw Town’s U23s to a 2-1 victory over Watford at Vicarage Road this afternoon.
Digby headed home a Dozzell freekick on the quarter hour, then the 17-year-old midfielder made it 2-0 from the spot after Josh Emmanuel was felled in the 67th minute.
Michael Folivi pulled a goal back for the home side with 10 minutes remaining, also from the penalty spot, but Gerard Nash’s side hung on for their fourth win of the season, their first away from home.
The U23s are next in action at Portman Road on Friday in their second Premier League Cup group game against West Brom, having been defeated 3-0 by Liverpool in their first (KO 7pm).
