Fulham's return to Premier League will last just one season after a loss against Watford.
FulhamThe London club’s return to the English top flight will last just one season after its demotion was confirmed with a 4-1 loss atWith Huddersfield relegated this past weekend with a record-tying six games to go, there is only one spot still to be decided. Cardiff is currently occupying the final relegation berth, five points from safety with seven games left.
It has been a tough season for Fulham, which started the campaign with optimism after American owner Shad Khan backed an off-season buying spree that made the club one of the biggest spenders in Europe. The majority of the new signings failed to make in impact and Slavisa Jokanovic, the manager who guided the club to promotion, was fired with Fulham in last place after 12 games. His replacement, Claudio Ranieri, couldn’t revive the team — he was also fired in February, after 3 1/2 months in charge — and relegation has looked inevitable for a few weeks under caretaker coach Scott Parker.
It was sealed in a heavy loss at Vicarage Road, and by a side with one eye on an FA Cup semifinal match at the weekend. Watford took the lead through Abdoulaye Doucoure in the 23rd minute and responded to a 33rd-minute equalizer by Ryan Babel by scoring three times in a 13-minute span from the 63rd, through Will Hughes, Troy Deeney and Kiko Femenia.More from Sportsnet
