Troost-Ekong's Watford suffer defeat against Leeds United

Three African stars were on parade at Elland Road as the Hornets suffered their fourth league loss of the season

Nigeria defender William Troost-Ekong, his compatriot Emmanuel Dennis and Senegal's Ismaila Sarr could not stop Watford from suffering a 1-0 defeat against Leeds United on Saturday.

The African trio played the entire duration of the Premier League encounter as Diego Llorente's 18th-minute goal separated both teams.

Troost-Ekong was impressive at the back against Marcelo Bielsa's men, with six clearances - the highest in the game and he also blocked four shots.
