Road to Wembley - Watford dream ends

Our boys The Hornets had a miserable week, going out of the FA Cup and getting relegated from the Premiership in 7 days. At Villa Park Wayne Rooney inspired title chasing Manchester United as they broke Watford's brave challenge to reach the first FA Cup final to be held at the new Wembley.

ROONEY powered home a brilliant 20-yard drive after only six minutes, but Watford levelled with HAMEUR BOUAZZAs 26th minute overhead kick.

but Watford's celebrations were shortlived when players Player of the Year CRISTIANO RONALDO then bundled in Rooney's cross two minutes later as United swiftly restored their lead. Then ROONEY's close-range finish wrapped up the win after 66 minutes and substitute KIERAN RICHARDSON chipped in a fourth.

Watford: Lee, Mariappa (Doyley 88), Carlisle, Stewart, DeMerit, Chambers (Kabba 70), Smith, Mahon, Francis, Bouazza, Priskin (King 78).
Subs Not Used: Loach, Bangura.
Attendance: 37,245
MoM: Bouazza

Manchester Utd will now become our final Road to Wembley team and will play Chelsea on May 19th.
