Super Eagles forward Emmanuel Dennis was in action for entire duration of the match for Watford on Wednesday but could not stop rampaging visitors Crystal Palace from taking the homers to the cleaners. Dennis was the only one of the Eagles legion which includes William Troost Ekong and Samuel Kalu that featured in the match with Ekong and Kalu on substiture bench. Maleta had opened scoring for Patrick Viera tutored Palace in the 15th minute of the match only for Sisoko to equalise for Watford but that was where the scoring prowess of the hosts ended as Palace then went on goal feast to earn a 4-1 victory.
Hodgson was facing the Eagles for the first time since ending his near-four-year stay at Selhurst Park last summer, but was handed no favours by his former charges as they left his Hornets side entrenched in the relegation zone, four points adrift of 17th-placed Newcastle.

The 4-1 scoreline was perhaps a little harsh on Watford, but it puts a halt to any momentum gained by their first win under Hodgson at Aston Villa on Saturday.
Dennis who missed the recently concluded Nations Cup in Cameroon where the Eagles booked early exit, will be hoping to be part of the party in the two legged World cup playoffs against Black Stars of Ghana next month.
