BBC: Watford extended their unbeaten Championship run to four games with a narrow victory over out-of-form Stoke City.

Sky: The Danish striker was on target in the 74th minute to stretch the Hornets’ unbeaten home run to nine matches, and they have lost just once in their last 10 home and away.

Fran’s Watford Blog: At the end of the game a couple of players had collapsed to the ground, which is not unusual, but then the physios came on and it was apparent that Semedo was in some trouble. Pollock had gone to applaud the Rookery while the rest of the players surrounded the stricken Semedo, and he was called back to join them. It looked really worrying, so it was a relief when Vivaldo got to his feet and walked off the pitch. The highlights showed him taking a nasty elbow to the face in the last action of the game.

From the Rookery End: Watford fans were treated to an early Christmas gift as Javi and the boys delivered a hard-fought 1–0 win over Stoke City — and this week, Jon, Jordi, Kieran and the Brigadier are in festive spirits as they break it all down.
