Dele-Bashiru gets rare League start, but Watford are held by Hull

Tom Dele-Bashiru was in action for Watford, when they hosted Hull City at the Vicarage Road on Sunday.

Dele-Bashiru was rewarded with a place in the starting XI by coach Slaven Bilic, following his fine form during the team’s training camp to Spain.

It was 23-year-old’s first start in the Championship, with his minutes limited this campaign due to injury.

After the interval, Dele-Bashiru improved in chance creation with the Hornets coming close to breaking the deadlock on multiple occasions.

The game however ended in a disappointing goalless draw, with Dele-Bashiru playing the entire minutes.

Meanwhile his compatriots, William Troost-Ekong had no taste of action as he watched the game from the bench.

The Nigerian CB was a surprise omission from the starting line up, in spite having a good game against Arsenal last week.
