Moment Watford star is CHASED by fuming Portsmouth players over controversial celebration that earned him red card
WATFORD’s late win over Portsmouth ended in farce after one Hornets star was red-carded – for taunting opposition fans with his dance moves.
Kwadwo Baah was sent off after the final whistle following a feisty clash at Vicarage Road.

Following wild celebrations, Tom Cleverley‘s men saw out the game to head back into the Championship playoff places.
Baah – who had been booked in the first half – headed towards the Portsmouth away support after the final whistle.
He was filmed taunting the video fans, throwing out some moves from video game Fortnite in front of a packed contingent from the South Coast.
After his teammates tried and failed to pull Baah away, Pompey’s Terry Devlin charged over to confront the German.
Referee Geoff Eltringham brandished the red card, halting the jiving Baah in his tracks.
But plenty felt the punishment was overly harsh, with a host of supporters defending the striker on social media.
One Watford fan wrote on X: “Was receiving stick from Pompey all of the first half, had every right to go and give some back.”

Another said: “Why has he actually been sent off?? He did nothing wrong!!”
While a third added: “Kwadwo Baah getting sent off after the FT whistle for taunting Portsmouth fans and doing the Fortnite dance in front of them. This boy is going straight to the top.”
And a fourth laughed: “To be fair he ran from the halfway line, he was hardly just walking past.”
While Watford’s official X account tweeted: “Baah giving it back to the away end.”
Cleverley’s Hornets are back in the top sixth thanks to the late Boxing Day victory.
Watford have lost just two of their last ten games across all competitions.
Their success has been built on making Vicarage Road a fortress – but the former Man Utd star wants his players to turn things around on the road.
Cleverley said in the build-up to the clash: “At home we’ve suffered setbacks and responded to them, but away from home we just don’t show the same character or mindset to come back from any deficits.
“I would never criticise my players for a technical mistake but when I see players shying away from wanting to receive the ball, then we’ve got a real issue.
“To get to the level we want to get to we can’t just do it in the home games – we have to do it in the toughest environments.
“At the minute we’re playing like a team who want to flip a coin and finish between fifth and 10th rather than really grab our own destiny by the scruff of the neck.”
