Watford 4-1 Sheffield Wednesday

Watford   4 - 1   Sheff Wed

By Phil Dawkes

Henri Lansbury scores
The influential Lansbury slots home his first goal, Watford's second

Watford took themselves within three points of the Championship leaders with a superb win over Sheffield Wednesday.

The Hornets took a 2-0 lead via Adrian Mariappa's tap-in and a superb Henri Lansbury finish after a jinking run.

Just before half-time, Marcus Tudgay headed in a Tommy Spurr long throw to give Wednesday hope of a comeback.

But Jon Harley's curling effort and a second goal for Lansbury following a good run from Tom Cleverley justified Watford's second-half dominance.
