Championship Watford 2 Sunderland 1 Full time
Watford dominated throughout the first-half and were unlucky not to score early. Edo Kayembe forced Anthony Patterson into a save within the first 10 minutes as a warning shot. Yasser Larouci was a thorn in Sunderland's side throughout; on 23 minutes, he beat Chris Mepham and crossed for Vakoun Bayo, but he couldn't test Patterson with his header.
