| Richard Johnson's long range effort for 2-0 to Watford |
English Champions Carlisle United had been promoted to Division Two and had successfully defended their title in a game away to Southend United and a League Cup tie at Chester City. Their third game of the season brought them to a resurgent Watford, back under the tutelage of the former England manager Graham Taylor.
Taylor was out of his depth in the England job but was undeniably effective at a club of a certain level.
Watford were made to wait until the second half for their goals. First, Peter Kennedy headed them into the lead from a cross from the right. Then Richard Johnson powered in a free-kick from 40 yards to secure the points for the Hornets.
Watford would be fighting for promotion all season and winning the Unofficial English Championship was a great way to start their season.
