    James H: 2109 loved the 80s comeback stat. I used to be good at the recorder on primary 5 in the 80s. Pretty rubbish now!

    Risabh Kapoor: As a manutd fan I'm happy to see west ham winning. If they are safe, we'll probably have a easy game next match

    Brilliant play by Jarrod Bowen. His side are on the ropes but he wins the ball from the corner before running 70 yards and drawing a foul from Kiko Femenia in shooting range.

    Ooooh.

    Kiko Femenía whips in a great low ball for Watford but nobody is gambling. There was a tap-in for somebody if they had.

    West Ham keeper flaps a bit at a free-kick but he manages to get it away. Watford could do with another goal to keep the momentum up. Craig Dawson gets a header in which rolls through to the keeper.

    West Ham 3-1 Watford

    Nigel Pearson must have given a great team talk. Watford look really up for this. A couple of crosses are overhit but at least there's the intent which was missing in the first half.

    Frustrating as Abdoulaye Doucoure tries to feed Danny Welbeck, who wasn't expecting the reverse ball. Goal-kick to West Ham.

    West Ham 3-1 Watford

    Another Watford goal would make this very interesting.

    They have twice won a top-flight match while conceding three goals. Both were 5-3 wins over Notts County in the 1980s.

    Troy Deeney

    Well now.

    Watford have been a new team since the break. Abdoulaye Doucoure goes on a good run, beating a couple of defenders and then guides his low shot off the post. Luckily for the Hornets the rebound falls to Troy Deeney, who makes no mistake.

    Watford's players have come out ages before West Ham's. Literally minutes earlier.
