Bottom club Crystal Palace won a five-goal thriller 3-2 at home to Watford.

Owen Garven grabbed a brace and Darren Ambrose got the other to help move Palace to just a point away from clearing the relegation zone.

Ambrose put Palace in front in the 19th minute, picking up the ball on the edge of the area from a quick break and curling home.

Three minutes after the interval, Watford drew themselves level after Danny Graham slotted Stephen McGinn's cross beyond Julian Speroni.

Just four minutes had elapsed when Jordan Mutch put away Troy Deeney's backheel pass to give Watford the lead.

Palace manager George Burley then brought on Wilfried Zaha and he made an instant impact, teeing up Owen Garvan to level things up in the 57th minute.

Three minutes after, Garven smashed home what proved to be the winning goal to give Palace a 3-2 win and a priceless three points.
