Watford climbed into the playoff places after Vakoun Bayo struck four times in their 6-2 win at Sheffield Wednesday.

After Wednesday’s Michael Smith cancelled out Ryan Porteous’s opener, Watford restored their lead through penalties from Tom Ince and Bayo, an Ivory Coast forward. Bayo completed his hat-trick either side of Pol Valentín’s goal for Wednesday before scoring his fourth in the 88th minute.
