Fans celebrate Emmanuel Dennis red card after AFCON blackout
Super Eagles fans are celebrating Emmanuel Dennis red card on Friday night, with Watford dropping into the Premier League relegation zone, insisting the Nigerian forward is under a curse for staying away from the ongoing AFCON.
Dennis was sent off in the 78th minute after a second booking as visiting Norwich City won this relegation six-pointer 3-0 Friday night.
The defeat saw Watford drop into the relegation zone and lifted Norwich City out of it.
Fans took to Twitter to celebrate the misfortune that has befallen Dennis and Watford, who stopped him from joining Nigeria’s Super Eagles at the AFCON 2021 in order to help them battle relegation.
Below are some tweets from Twitter.
You can’t tell me the curses and bad wishes Nigerians proclaimed on Watford is not working. Red Card for Emmanuel Dennis and 2 goals down lol. Relegation is calling them with this result.

Since Watford stopped Emmanuel Dennis from going to Afcon because he was "too important for them"
He hasn't scored any goal
They haven't won any match
They are currently in the relegation zone.

Since Watford Prevented Emmanuel Dennis from joining his colleagues at the AFCON he has been almost useless for them. No goal no assist, Watford themselves haven't also won a game which is not surprising. Today Emmanuel Dennis got a red card. More woes!
Don't try Nigerians!!!

• Watford have failed to win a game since AFCON started
• Emmanuel Dennis is yet to score since #AFCON2021 started
• He got a red card last night
• Nigeria 9/9 points and into the #AFCON2021 round of 16
At this point I am sure he would be regretting his decision 🇳🇬 pic.twitter.com/WqrP14japQ

“Refused to release Emmanuel Dennis for AFCON and he’s rewarded Watford with horrible performance, that’s what I call real justice,” tweeted @Silhouett3Yrome
Dr Udiee @1stGeuiss added to the jibe: “Emmanuel Dennis missed #afcon2021 and now has been red carded to miss all the Premier League games till #AFCON21 ends. No be juju be that?”
