West Ham were left wondering what might have been in this hard fought affair on Saturday afternoon.

The home team started with the attitude of a side who had just won four games on the trot and thought they only needed to turn up for this one to make it five.

Watford pressured, right across the pitch, getting their reward on the half hour when Fabian Balbuena pulled down Roberto Pereyra for a penalty. Troy Deeney converted.
