Watford 1-2 Stoke City: Walters and Joselu boost visitor's European hopes

Jonathan Walters and Joselu were on target for Stoke City in a 2-1 win at Watford that boosts the European hopes of Mark Hughes' side.

Stoke City moved up to seventh in the Premier League with a 2-1 win at Watford thanks to goals from Jonathan Walters and Joselu.

Victory vaults the Potters right into European contention, while FA Cup semifinalist Watford has seen its league campaign peter out recently as it has won just two of its last 13 games.

Stoke was well worth the three points and took the lead after just 18 minutes, Walters turning in Phil Bardsley's low center.
