After a bright start to the game, the ‘Orns could have been two goals up at least. Chance Watford Chance Watford A day for dreadful defending and little else. The 'Orns will face a Leicester side who don't really have too much to play for today though. Indeed, Roy Hodgson has yet to pick up all three points in front of the home Hornets support, and so he'll want to put an end to that this afternoon.

Watford's final Premier League match at Vicarage Road for at least a season will see them go up against Leicester City.

There were doubts about the Brazilian after he picked up a cut in the midweek match. Likewise, the Brazilian put in a good shift against Everton and will keep his spot. His final match at the Vic before he moves on, with manager Roy Hodgson calling for fans to give him a good send off earlier in the week.

Named the club's player of the season ahead of the game, the left-back came on at halftime to try and rescue things but saw his team concede only moments after he came on. Left too much space in the middle of the park for the opposition players to run through and create at will. Started slowly and gave the ball away so cheaply in the build up to the Foxes' second goal. Pushed into a wing-back role in the second half and seemed glad to be further away from his own goal. As Samir was injured in the warm up, Cathcart came in to start and would have been pretty angry with Masina for barging into him ahead of James Maddison's goal to level the scores. Playing his last home game as a Watford player, he was sadly embarrassed at one stage by Jamie Vardy as he overcommitted on a cross only for the striker to nip and head the ball into an open goal.

Jamie Vardy and Harvey Barnes scored two goals each as Leicester City thrashed relegated Watford 5-1 at Vicarage Road in the Premier League on Sunday.

Maddison played a long ball forward and Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster raced off his line to punch it clear but Vardy headed it home to put Leicester ahead. Barnes scored 30 seconds after the restart, volleying past Foster from substitute Marc Albrighton's cross, and set up Vardy's second with 20 minutes remaining for the striker to score his 14th league goal of the campaign. Watford led after six minutes through a half-volley from Joao Pedro after the away side failed to clear a corner, but James Maddison and Vardy scored in quick succession to turn the game in Leicester's favour.

Jamie Vardy scores twice as Leicester thrash already relegated Watford to consign them to a seventh defeat in eight Premier League games.

Harvey Barnes had two goals and an assist as Leicester City recovered from an early blip to pound Watford 5-1 at Vicarage Road on Sunday.

3. Watford’s recruitment failed them: As promising as Ismaila Sarr and Emmanuel Dennis were in attack, the Hornets’ defensive unit was simply not suited for the Premier League level. 1. Uncongested Leicester finishing strong: It definitely helps that their opponents were Norwich and Watford, but Leicester’s 8-1 combined score line in the two matches since it was eliminated from European competition is not a surprise. Jamie Vardy also scored twice and James Maddison had a goal and two assists as the Foxes pulled back into ninth place with 48 points.

Manager Roy Hodgson was disappointed in the manner of the defeat after losing to Leicester City 5-1.

“It doesn't matter if you're in the Premier League or National League South, as a fan you come to see your team win - it's as simple as that. And if you're going to lose a few games then you should try to do it away from home more often than at home, because you build all your hope around your home form and the tone it sets. He continued: “I was really impressed with their support today.

Travelling with Watford’s senior squad on several occasions this term, including for a trip to Liverpool, Forde made the bench for the first time in the Premier League against Brentford last month. A loan to Kings Langley followed soon after as Forde continued to get a taste of men’s football, and he scored two goals, made an assist and won a penalty in three games in the Southern League Premier Division South. On an occasion Forde described as “a very special day for my family”, the attacker followed in the footsteps of his father, former Hornet Fabian Forde, in representing Watford at senior level, being introduced at the King Power Stadium on 74 minutes.

The hosts took an early lead through a Joao Pedro goal that totally wasn't a Timothy Castagne own-goal. James Maddison and Jamie Vardy scored in quick ...

Literally as soon as I wrote that last bit, the visitors turned the ball over in the middle of the park and the break was on. Barnes lifted a marvellous ball over the top that took out the entire Hornets’ defence and saw Vardy one-on-one with Foster. The former Stocksbridge Park Steels man kept his nerve and casually passed the ball into the back of the net with the outside of his left boot. The busiest man for the rest of the half was the City physio. We travel to London to square off against Chelsea on Thursday and then close out the 2021/22 campaign at home against Southampton one week from today. If you think the other players don’t pick up on his example and feed off of it, you must be watching a different match. The armband changed hands again as Patson Daka came on for Vardy and Albrighton took over as captain. Vardy nodded it over the keeper and scored what will surely be the longest headed goal of his storied career. He spotted Vardy between the central defenders and launched an inch-perfect cross towards the former England man on the edge of the area. Remember the last match against Watford went the defenders just let a ball go over them, not realising that Madders was between them and the keeper? The ball was going wide, but Castagne was on hand to turn it into the net for the 20th goal the Foxes have conceded from a set-piece this year. Harvey Barnes bagged a brace after the break and Vardy added a second for himself to complete the wreckage. Watford won a corner on 5’ on the City left.
