Watford 0-4 Bournemouth

Watford had their worst performance of the season in a terrible 4-0 loss to Bournemouth at Vicarage Road. After Welsh youngster David Brooks scored in his second straight game, Christian Kabasele got his second yellow and gave Bournemouth a penalty. The Norwegian striker Joshua King scored from the spot, got his second 12 minutes later, and his strike partner Callum Wilson made it a great day for the Cherries.

Bournemouth’s remarkable record of five wins, one draw, and two losses has Eddie Howe in 5th-place after the day’s matches. With 16 points in eight matches, the Cherries are looking strong. They play Southampton next. Watford hasn’t won in over a month and it could be longer when they play red-hot Wolves on matchday nine.
