Watford will definitely join Norwich City in the Championship next season following their 11th consecutive home defeat in the Premier League, that will certainly see them drop at the end of the season, Megasportsarena.com reports.
Dennis Emmanuel started the match for the Hornets at home but could neither find the net nor stop the drift. They threw away a 1-0 lead in the final seven minutes of the match, as Burnley came from behind to bolster their own hopes of survival.
Dennis’ compatriots William Troost-Ekong and Samuel Kalu were unused substitutes for the Hornets.
Late goals form Jack Cork and Josh Brownhill subjected Watford to a 2-1 defeat.
A first-half James Tarkowski own goal gave the Golden Boys a deserved 1-0 lead at half-time, with Juraj Kucka and Emmanuel Dennis missing a number of chances to put Watford further in front either side of the interval.
Goalkeeper Ben Foster produced a flurry of smart stops to keep out Aaron Lennon and Ashley Barnes as the Clarets pushed for an equaliser after the break, but Cork finally breached the home backline with seven minutes to go before Brownhill snatched the points moments later.
An 11th consecutive home defeat leaves Watford 12 points adrift of safety with four games remaining, thus requiring maximum points and results to go in their favour from now until the end of the campaign if they are to avoid slipping into the Championship.
