Sunderland effectively said farewell to the Premier League with a meek 1-0 surrender to Watford on Saturday, losing in a game where a heavier defeat would not have seemed unjust.
Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford again produced a string of saves to keep the score down as David Moyes' side slid closer to relegation. There was plenty of end-to-end action at Vicarage Road, but only the home side seriously threatened. Miguel Britos' headed winner, the goal created by a completely unmarked Stefano Okaka, sealed the logical outcome.
