Hornets fail to secure victory to avoid drop

Watford blew the chance to secure their survival in the Coca-Cola Championship as Akos Buzsaky gave QPR victory at Loftus Road.

The Hornets made the short trip to west London knowing a win over a team already safe from the drop would ensure they too stayed up.

It leaves them two points above third-bottom Sheffield Wednesday with both sides having two games remaining.
