Caleb Wiley is looking back to his old self for EFL Championship side Watford.
Wiley assisted once and played 90 minutes in Watford’s 1-0 home league victory over Hull City. The Chelsea loanee started his third-straight match for the club, going the distance for the first team in Watford colors.
After a goal-less first half, Watford broke the deadlock 10 minutes after halftime.
Wiley’s cross was finished off by veteran midfielder Moussa Sissoko, propelling Tom Cleverley’s squad ahead of the visiting Tigers.
Watford would hang on for three points, moving four points back of sixth place Middlesbrough for the final promotion playoff spot.
Wiley, 20, won eight duels in the match, completed two tackles, three dribbles, and made eight recoveries. The U.S. men’s national team fullback left the Vicarage Road pitch as one of the better performers on the night.
Watford will next travel to West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, hoping to take another step towards a potential top-six finish.
