Watford 1-2 Leeds

Watford's relegation worries deepened after Leeds defender Clarke Carlisle won the visitors all three points.

Leeds went in front with a lovely goal from Rob Hulse, the big striker heading Gary Kelly's cross past Richard Lee.

The Hornets levelled before the break when Heidar Helguson nodded in after Brynjar Gunnarsson's shot was saved.

The game turned when Jay DeMerit was dismissed for two late tackles and Leeds took advantage, Carlisle heading in Matthew Kilgallon's cross to win it.
