Watford - Crystal Palace live updates

FULL TIME: Watford 0-1 Crystal Palace

A push in the box from Prodl means it's a free kick to Palace and more time ticks by. They should see this out now. Hennessey booked for time wasting.

All hands to the pump for Palace now as they try to see this one out. Defensive headers the name of the game to deal with a late barrage of high balls in the box.

Hangeland gives away a free kick and again Watford have plenty in the box. Hangeland recovers to clear but Watford force another corner.

Bolasie goes from goal and his curling effort it just over the bar! Good strike.

FIVE additional minutes go onto the board.

Palace regain possession and Puncheon forges into the box. He chooses to go alone instead of crossing and Gomes saves at his feet.

Yellow card for Zaha for a cynical foul to prevent a Watford break. They have everyone forward in the box for the free kick but Hennessey claims well under pressure.

Ake picks out Deeney in the centre and he takes too long over deciding to shoot and the excellent Hangeland again gets in another decisive block.

STAT: Palace have won eight of their 11 away matches in the Premier League under manager Alan Pardew (L3).

Clever ball from Puncheon for Gayle and shoots just wide as Watford defenders track back quickly. It’s his last contribution as he’s replaced by Campbell.

Another card for Cathcart as he sends Gayle flying. Watson is replaced by Ibarbo.

Silly foul from Puncheon on Watson and now he goes into the book. Lots of challenges being punished now.

Prodl bundles over McArthur and Palace have a dangerous free kick near the edge of the box. Puncheon takes but it’s straight at Gomes.

Zaha does really well to tease out a cross on the left flank and picks out Gayle on the other side, whose shot is just wide.

So Alan Pardew deciding to protect his lead with a defensive substitution. Not too long to hold onto this lead.

Palace sub: Cabaye comes off to be replaced by McArthur

Cabaye trips Jurado and now he goes into the book shortly after scoring a penalty.

Watford sub: Ake comes on for Nyom. He goes to left back with Anya going to right back.
