Note to self: never suggest things can’t get any worse.
Aston Villa’s losing run was extended to 11 games with defeat at Watford, but this one will have been especially hard to take.
Eric Black’s team led twice through goals from Ciaran Clark and Jordan Ayew, and were still 2-1 ahead going into the final minute.
But the visitors, who had Aly Cissokho sent off in the second half, could not hold on.
Troy Deeney equalised in the dying moments, yet somehow still had time to add his second – and Watford’s third – before the final whistle.
Villa fans are used to defeat, but this still hurts.
Same old Villa. Always losing. #AVFC

#ffsvilla Villa fans, I'm so sorry for you. You don't deserve ineptitude to such an overwhelming degree.

Looks like Villa were able to relax now that weight is off their shoulders
