Watford in final after late drama

Watford 3 Leicester City 1 (Watford win 3-2 on agg)

Just a fortnight after Brentford’s hopes of automatic promotion from League One were dashed in the space of a minute – when Marcello Trotta’s stoppage-time penalty hit the crossbar and Doncaster broke away to score the winner and seal the title – the Hornets repeated the trick yesterday.

Their promotion dream looked over when referee Michael Oliver pointed to the spot after Marco Cassetti nudged Anthony Knockaert to the floor in the area.
