JAKARTA - Conor Gallagher scored a beautiful goal, while Wilfried Zaha scored twice as Crystal Palace thrashed Watford 4-1 in a Premier League clash on Thursday which left the hosts even more worried about the threat of relegation.
Tyrick Mitchell's cross from the left in the 42nd minute was brilliantly maximized by Gallagher who worked the ball for him to pass past goalkeeper Ben Foster.
Jean-Philippe Mateta had previously given Palace the lead, but the lead was short-lived when Moussa Sissoko scored his first goal for hosts Watford.

Zaha added two more goals in stoppage time and the second was also an interesting one as Palace secured only their second away win of the season.
Watford who travel to Manchester United on Saturday remain in the relegation zone with 18 points from 25 games or four points from safety.
Palace moved up two places to 11th with 29 points from 26 matches. They next host Burnley at Selhurst Park.
The visitors went ahead in the 15th minute when Gallagher's low cross reached Mateta whose shot was deflected by defender Kiko Femenia.
However, the lead lasted only two-and-a-half minutes, as Sissoko beat two Palace defenders to head home from Femenia's corner.
