Southampton 1-2 Watford: Relegation-threatened Hornets hold on to a huge three away from home thanks to Cucho Hernandez's brace

Football’s self-deprecating humour was on full show in the Watford end amid a very big win.

‘We’re fucking s***,’ their supporters sang when it was 0-0. ‘How s*** must you be? We’re winning away,’ when Cucho Hernandez made it 1-0. ‘Are you Watford in disguise?’ when Southampton’s Che Adams messed up a simple pass. ‘We’re going down,’ they added.

And yet, after this, maybe they aren’t. Watford have hope. Their fans know the predicament they’re in and so they had fun with it in Southampton, but this was a potentially season-spinning win.
