Hornets’ sting drawn by Fulham

Fulham 2 Watford 0

Victories over Portsmouth and Southampton in the Carling Cup have seen Watford capture plenty of headlines but they were unable to produce another of their giant-killing acts at Craven Cottage.

The Championship club - who had performed heroics when the sides met at Vicarage Road 12 days ago - failed to create a clear goalscoring opportunity all match and were comprehensively outclassed by the Cottagers.
