Eom Ji-sung scored one goal and created another for a second straight match Tuesday, powering Swansea City to a 2-0 home victory over Watford in England's second-tier Championship.
Eom put Swansea ahead in the eighth minute at Swansea.com Stadium in Wales. Adam Idah broke through the Watford defense before finding Eom, who converted with a right-footed finish.
The South Korean winger returned the favor in the 29th minute, releasing Idah with a precise through ball from near midfield. Idah completed the move with his right foot to double the advantage.
Eom played the full match for the first time this season after making his second consecutive start.
The 24-year-old also contributed a goal and an assist in Swansea's 3-0 road win over Derby County in the previous round. He now has two goals and two assists in five appearances across all competitions this season.
Eom has been selected as an overage player for coach Lee Min-sung's South Korean squad for the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. South Korea will begin group play against Qatar on Sept. 15.
