An Ellis Simms hat-trick and a Viktor Torp piledriver ensured that Coventry signed off on their Sky Bet Championship title-winning season in style with a one-sided 4-0 victory over a sorry Watford side at Vicarage Road.

Cheered on by around 2,000 fans bedecked in sky blue, Frank Lampard's side ended a memorable season with 95 points and 97 goals.

By contrast, swathes of empty seats in the Watford sections spoke volumes about the apathy that has engulfed a club which appears to be directionless after another mediocre mid-table campaign.

What was even more damning for the home side was that Lampard chose to give some of his squad players a final day in the sun before the inevitable personnel changes that will be made before their first Premier League season since 2000-01.

The Watford players gave Coventry a guard of honour as they entered the pitch and proceeded to be just welcoming when the game started.

Simms was given the time and space to have two attempts at a shot which he eventually squirmed wide.

Watford's defenders then stood off Brandon Thomas-Asante, allowing him the time to pick out Josh Eccles whose header was pushed away by the diving Egil Selvik.

When the move was replicated after 19 minutes, Simms made no mistake, heading home a Jake Bidwell cross.

There seemed to be very little commitment from the home players, a damning indictment on the short reign of Ed Still, Watford's third permanent manager of a mediocre season.

The one exception in a dismal first half for the hosts was striker Nestory Irankunda, who came within a roll of the ball of hauling his side level after rounding visiting goalkeeper Carl Rushworth only to see Joel Latibaudiere clear off the goalline.

Within 30 seconds, the Australia international went close again, this time with a shot that cannoned back off a post.

As if to underline the difference between the sides, Simms then made it 2-0 with a rasping, rising drive from the edge of the area into the top corner.

Simms sealed his hat-trick just before the hour. Josh Eccles forced Selvik into a diving stop only for Torp to collect the ball and slide it inside for Simms to turn home.

Even Simms could not match the majesty of Torp's strike five minutes from time which signalled a mass walkout by the Watford fans who were still inside Vicarage Road.

Substitute Jamie Allen fought hard to win the ball on halfway and slipped a pass inside which Torp collected on the run before unleashing a 20-drive which found the top corner.
