Watford fans’ reaction to their team’s first goal against Plymouth Argyle left viewers, including Sky Sports commentator Don Goodman, perplexed during a 2-2 draw at Home Park. Vakoun Issouf Bayo scored for the visitors with a tap-in inside the box, but the Watford supporters appeared unaware of the goal as they celebrated six seconds after the ball hit the net.
Goodman described the situation as one of the “strangest reactions” he had ever seen from an away section, noting that the fans seemed to be unsure where the ball had gone.
The bizarre delay in celebrations quickly went viral on social media, with many fans commenting on the awkward moment. Some users joked about the fans’ delayed reaction, humorously suggesting that the supporters were “buffering” or watching the game on streaming services like Netflix or Fire Stick. The clip gained traction as a curious spectacle, sparking a flood of memes and light-hearted commentary across various platforms.
In the match itself, Watford and Plymouth exchanged goals. Andre Gray equalized for Plymouth in the 23rd minute after Bayo’s opener. Watford regained the lead just before halftime thanks to Ryan Porteous. However, despite their efforts, Watford couldn’t hold onto their advantage, as Plymouth’s Gray scored again in stoppage time, securing a 2-2 draw.
Following the match, Watford’s focus shifts to their next fixture, where they will host Bristol City at Vicarage Road. Meanwhile, Plymouth will travel to Carrow Road to face Norwich City in their upcoming game.
