Juan Camilo Zuniga had not blown out his first birthday candle when Watford last beat Manchester United. And as he blew out his 30th last December, that gives some idea of the milestone nature of this result.
Watford don’t beat Manchester United. They don’t even draw, not for 11 straight meetings going back to September 16, 1986, two months before Sir Alex Ferguson arrived at Old Trafford. Yet 30 years and two days of frustration were swept aside in ten wonderful minutes at Vicarage Road, when Zuniga helped Watford close out the game in quite magnificent style, scoring one then winning a penalty to earn a deserved three points.
So at what point does a drama become a crisis for Jose Mourinho?
