Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye was handed his debut by Watford’s coach Rob Edwards in League Cup tie with MK Dons on Tuesday.
It was however a debut to forget for the Nigerian shot-stopper as the Hornets crashed out of the Cup following a 2-0 home loss to Milton Keynes Dons.
Okoye was beaten for the first time in the 45th minute through Matthew Dennis.
The 20-year-old turned fired home a cross from Darragh Burns, with Okoye rooted to his goal.
MK Dons got their second after Burns’ 25-yard shot found its way into the back of the net in the 54th minute.
Meanwhile, his national teammate William Troost-Ekong also featured in the tie, while Samuel Kalu was missing due to injury.
