    FT: Watford 1-3 Man City!! All over at Vicarage Road and it was an easy win for the visitors. Sterling and B Silva scored in the first half and when B Silva made it 0-3 with a stunner after 63 minutes that was that. Cucho Hernandez got a late consolation, but the result was never in doubt. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!
