Italian midfielder Edoardo Bove ended a 506-day goal drought in dramatic fashion, scoring his first goal since returning from a cardiac-related layoff.
The 94th-minute strike sealed a 3–1 win for Watford FC against Wrexham AFC in a Championship clash. Bove calmly tapped the ball home with his left foot after a teammate’s shot rebounded off the crossbar.
His previous goal dated back to October 27, 2024, when he scored for ACF Fiorentina against AS Roma. The long wait and the circumstances surrounding his return made this goal especially meaningful.
After the match, fans paid tribute with a banner reading, “Even if you leave Rome, you will never be alone,” highlighting the enduring bond between the player and his roots.
