A first-half penalty from Wilfried Zaha confirmed Watford and their Nigerian legion’s relegation from the Premier League as they lost 1-0 to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, Megasportsarena.com reports.
William Troost-Ekong, Emmanuel Dennis, Samuel Kalu and Maduka Okoye will play in the Championship next season except they find suitors in the top division.
Dennis may yet play top flight football with Villarreal as the Spanish side and a few other clubs are already showing interest in him while Oghenekaro Etebo, who joined Watford on loan from Championship club Stoke City, will return to the Potters.
Goalkeeper Maduka Okoye moves to the London club next season from Sparta Rotterdam while Samuel Kalu, who pitched tent with Watford midway through the season, will join his Nigerian teammates in the second tier of English football.
Defeat at home to Burnley last weekend had virtually confirmed the Hornets’ instant return to the Championship.
