Watford No2 Lewington: We need something spectacular to stay up

Watford No2 Ray Lewington concedes they're on the brink of relegation after defeat to Burnley.

Lewington acknowledged the bleak situation but insisted he and the team will give their all until the very end of the campaign, with a trip to Crystal Palace next up on Saturday May 7.

He said: “It would need something spectacular now, obviously. We've got to play for our pride now, perform, and give our best for the players themselves and for the supporters.

“We've got four games left and the most important thing is that we don't drift away. We'll keep working and the results and the table will take care of themselves.

“We'd like to thank the fans for their continued support. They've been magnificent and kept going for us despite the situation, and hopefully we can give them something to smile about before the season's done."
