Wolves ended a run of three straight defeats with a comfortable victory over relegation-threatened Watford.

Early strikes from Raul Jimenez and Daniel Podence, either side of a Juan Hernandez own goal, effectively ended the match as contest after only 21 minutes.

Ruben Neves capped the performance with an accomplished fourth goal with five minutes remaining.

The result leaves Watford second-bottom and three points adrift of safety, while Wolves remain eighth but with increased hopes of pushing for European qualification for next season.
