Second half action from Scunthorpe United v Watford at Glanford Park on 3rd January 2011. The football was at best mediocre and Watford went on to win 2-1, but the match will be remembered for the three floodlight failures when the score was 1-1. Having kicked off at 3.00pm, the final whistle went at 5.20pm in what was almost certainly the longest league match at Glanford Park. The Iron had the better first half and O'Connor missed a penalty early in the second half, but Martin Woolford's 61st minute goal gave Scunthorpe United the lead until Watford equalised just 3 minutes later. Three successive floodlight failures and restarts occupied the next half hour or so, but Watford sneaked the winner in the 85th minute, leaving Scunthorpe deep in the relegation zone and without a home win since August 2010.
