English pro forward Raheem Sterling led Manchester City to a 4-0 triumph over Watford inside the the Vicarage Road on Tuesday.

With this loss, Watford will need to work harder to beat Arsenal on the last day of the Premier League on Sunday if they will survive relegation from top flight.

This defeat is coming on Watford in the wake of the sack of Head Coach Nigel Pearson on July 19 leaving the managerial position of the club to U-23 coach Hayden Mullins and his assistant Graham Stack, with two games left.
