Watford 1-2 Wolves: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Wanderers Close in on Seventh With Hornets Win

Wolves took a huge step in their bid to finish seventh as they beat Watford 2-1 on Saturday afternoon.

Wolves thought they had taken the lead through Raul Jimenez after an uneventful opening half hour, but Etienne Capoue's excellent clearance off the line ensured it remained goalless.

The visitors did eventually take the lead, as Jimenez got his goal with four minutes of the first half remaining. Diogo Jota wonderfully curled the ball into the box and the Mexican headed home his strike partner's cross from close range to put the visitors in front.
