But the travelling Hornets fans seemingly didn't realise the Ivory Coast international had broken the deadlock as they celebrated SIX SECONDS after the ball had hit the back of the net.

And Sky Sports commentator Don Goodman was left stunned, saying: "Well, that was one of the strangest reactions to a goal I think I've ever seen from an away section.

"They had no idea where the ball had good.

"You see it nestle in the back of the net. [Well], what they could see."
