Watford blown out by City, end season on six-game losing streak

This is a modal window.

Manchester City ended Walter Mazzari's reign as Watford manager with a 5-0 hammering at Vicarage Road.

Watford went into this game with no recognised centre-backs and a dearth of defensive alternatives, so while the nature of this defeat was painful to watch, it came as no surprise. The visitors could have had double figures had they been minded to get out of second gear, as Watford were as hapless as they were ragged.

Positives

Despite Heurelho Gomes receiving treatment for around five minutes, the officials decided to play a just a single minute of injury time at the end of the match.
