Watford 1-0 Sheffield Wednesday: Hornets clinch fifth win on the bounce to extend points' advantage over third-placed Swansea City as Tom Lees own goal piles more misery on sorry Owls

Watford have extended their points advantage over third-placed Swansea City after a Tom Lees own goal was enough to down sorry Sheffield Wednesday on Good Friday.

Xisco's side have returned from the international break ready for the final dash to the finish line as the Hornets look to immediately return to the Premier League at the first time of asking.

And a seventh-minute own goal from Lees secured all three points for the promotion chasers, who move nine clear of the Swans, with Steve Cooper's side holding two games in hand over their rivals.
