Watford player ratings - 'Game-changer' 8/10 but 'lucky' 5/10 in feisty QPR win

Watford picked up three points on the road to pile more misery on lowly QPR as the Hornets visited Loftus Road on Sunday.

Watford secured their place in the top half of the Championship with a 2-1 win over struggling QPR at Loftus Road at Sunday lunchtime.

The Hornets have two long-distance Jake Livermore strikes to thank for the three points against a Hoops side that put up a good fight against their London rivals. Valérien Ismaël's side are now just one point off the play-off zone and unbeaten in three after a consistent start to 2024. Next up for the side in the Championship are trips to Bristol City and Sheffield Wednesday as the race for a top six place hots up.

Here's how the Watford players fared against QPR on Sunday.
