Mark Robins' side Claim Sixth Straight Win Versus The Hornets
League leaders prolonged their impressive unbeaten run with a dominant three to one performance against a player-down Watford.
Early Goals Establish the Tone
Frank Lampard's team started to a perfect start with Brandon Thomas-Asante and the midfielder scoring the goal within the initial minutes.
The Japanese winger made it a 3-0 advantage just before half-time, while a Watford defender was shown a red card before the break.
Watford Manage a Second-Half Strike
A Watford player converted a penalty for the losing team, but it proved nothing more than a late strike.
The home side's keeper Carl Rushworth had earlier saved a golden opportunity for Rocco Vata, which could have changed the contest early on.
Frank Lampard commented: “It was a tough fixture this afternoon because the opposition are a quality side.”
Ipswich Return to Winning Form
Jack Clarke was introduced from the substitutes to fire the lone goal in a 1-0 victory over the Baggies.
The home side controlled the game but only broke the goalless draw near the end thanks to Clarke's 5th strike of the season.
The away team thought they had scored in stoppage time, but the goal was chalked off for a infringement in the box.
Stoke Snatch Close Win at Fratton Park
A Portsmouth defender scored a second-half own strike to present Mark Robins' team a 1-0 win.
John Mousinho's men have now managed just one game since the close of last month.
Robins said: “That was one of the vital wins we’ve had this campaign.”
