Watford 4-1 Fulham: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Rampant Hornets Seal Cottagers' Relegation

Fulham's relegation from the Premier League was confirmed on Tuesday night, as Watford beat claimed a 4-1 victory at Vicarage Road.

Watford made their breakthrough in the 23rd minute thanks to Abdoulaye Doucoure's powerful strike from the edge of the box. The Frenchman fought his way through a patchy Fulham defence, and scored emphatically to put the Hornets in front.

Fulham drew level soon after, as Ryan Babel went round Ben Foster and duly finished. It was Babel's second goal in his last three league games, as the Cottagers got themselves back into the game.

It took until the 63rd minute for Watford to regain their lead, thanks to a stunning volley from Will Hughes.
