Watford missed an opportunity to move into the Premier League's top six as they suffered a poor home defeat to Stoke City.
Heurelho Gomes' own goal proved decisive as Stoke City secured a 1-0 Premier League victory at 10-man Watford.
Stoke had the better of the first half and went ahead when home goalkeeper Gomes deflected the ball into his own net after Charlie Adam's header had bounced off the post.
And the visitors were able to close out the win surprisingly comfortably in the second half, with Watford barely troubling Lee Grant.
Watford had only lost two of their previous nine league games and missed the chance to go sixth in the table with a win, a bad day made worse when Miguel Britos was sent off for a second caution in the final minute.
