Watford return to winning form

Odion Ighalo rediscovered his scoring touch as Watford won their first league game in six with victory over struggling Newcastle at Vicarage Road.

The Nigeria striker went into the game without a goal since 28 December, but finally notched his 14th when he beat the offside trap to slot in Troy Deeney's through-ball.

He then set up Craig Cathcart, who drove in the second from six yards.

Jamaal Lascelles headed home in the 71st minute to set up a tense finish.

The Magpies remain in the bottom three with 21 points, while the Hornets move up to 10th with 32 points.
