Fulham made it two pre-season wins out of two by thrashing Watford 6-1 in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Motspur Park this afternoon.
The Whites went in front when Sasa Lukic coolly converted a penalty after Rodrigo Muniz had been brought down in the box. Muniz made it two with a powerful drive after the Brazilian striker was found by a searching pass from Alex Iwobi.
iwobi then added his name to the scoresheet before the break, dinking a delightful finish over the advancing Watford goalkeeper having been played in by a peach of a pass from teenage midfielder Josh King.
Marco Silva made five changes at half time and King quickly involved two of them to increase Fulham’s lead. He drove deep into Watford territory and found Harry Wilson, who cut a ball back for Raul Jimenez to fire home.
Jay Stansfield scored swiftly after being sent on – heading home an inch perfect Jimenez cross and academy product Adrion Pajaziti made it six with a classy finish from another excellent assist by the Mexican veteran.
Watford did grab a late consolation but this was the perfect preparation for next week’s trip to Portugal.
