Cardiff thrash Watford as Hornets fall into relegation zone

Cardiff City thrashed Watford in a Championship match, though accounts differ on the final score: one says 5-1 and another says 4-0.

Jack Moylan scored twice for Cardiff in the first half, including from a penalty.

Cardiff scored four times before half-time, and the match was effectively decided early.

Watford captain Mattie Pollock gave away the penalty and scored an own goal.

Watford dropped into the relegation zone in 22nd place after losing four matches in a row and six of their last seven.

Watford supporters booed the team and voiced anger at the club’s owners and manager, Alessio Dionisi.

Dionisi said he was angry with his players after they failed to respond to their previous 4-0 defeat by Burnley.
