Watford 1-4 West Ham: Hammers fight back to keep in touch with top four

West Ham ended their recent run of poor form by coming from behind to overwhelm struggling Watford at Vicarage Road.

The Hammers had gone into the game with just one win in seven games - a run that had seen them seemingly slip out of top-four contention.

It looked like the slump was going to continue when Emmanuel Dennis knocked the ball past Craig Dawson in the fourth minute before firing a superb strike into the top corner.

West Ham initially struggled to impose themselves but improved as the half wore on and then shocked the Hornets with two goals in two minutes.
