Seconds after missing the chances that could have kept their survival hopes alive, Watford conceded the stoppage-time winner that surely condemns them to an instant return to the Championship.
With the scores level as the match moved past 90 minutes, Hornets substitute Joshua King hit the post and Imran Louza put the loose ball wide of an open goal. To compound the agony for Watford, Pontus Jansson promptly headed in Christian Eriksen’s free-kick at the other end. Those sorts of switches in momentum tend to be the difference between staying up and going down.
Christian Norgaard had given the visitors an early lead and Watford – who have now lost five in six – were booed off at half-time.
