Four other Super Eagles players like Oghenekaro Etebo, Samuel Kalu, Maduka Okoye and Bonaventure Dennis are element of Watford squad.
Defeat by Burnley final week had remaining the Hornets 12 details adrift of protection with 4 game titles remaining and Palace sent their former supervisor Roy Hodgson’s side straight back again down to the Championship with a dominant display.
The Eagles managed the contest from the outset and went ahead when Zaha confidently swept his 31st-moment location-kick earlier Ben Foster immediately after Hassane Kamara had used his arm to block Michael Olise’s back again-write-up header.
Watford in no way appeared like scoring and their misery was compounded when Kamara, now booked for that handball, was dismissed when his push on Olise manufactured a next yellow card.
It is the next time Watford have dropped out of the leading flight in the earlier three seasons. The manager-a lot less Hornets also went down on the ultimate day of the 2019-20 campaign in advance of securing an immediate return underneath Xisco Munoz.
The identification of the mentor, who will be tasked with emulating Munoz’s achievement, is continue to unfamiliar, on the other hand, with Hodgson set to retire from top-stage administration when his agreement at Vicarage Street expires at the stop of the year.
Watford never definitely got likely as Palace took control early on. France Beneath-21 winger, Olise, a person of five players recalled by Eagles’ boss, Patrick Vieira, designed the house side’s first prospect after 5 minutes when Marc Guehi headed his teasing cross over the bar.
Olise was also included in the 1st-half’s essential instant when his header from Eberechi Eze’s still left-wing cross struck Watford entire-back again Kamara’s outstretched arm.
Graham Scott pointed to the location, and even though Kamara claimed Olise experienced pushed him in the again, a VAR review upheld the referee’s choice, enabling Zaha to add to the double he netted in Palace’s 4-1 get above Watford in February.
While Watford required to score twice, it was Palace who looked like grabbing the game’s second purpose with Odsonne Edouard pretty much netting a wonderful solo purpose just just after the hour, dancing his way via the visitors’ defence before hitting the put up from a limited angle.
With Kamara despatched off on 68 minutes, Palace cruised to victory as the game – and Watford’s stay in the division – ended with a whimper.
