Troy Deeney’s two late goals denied Aston Villa what would have been only their fourth league win of the season.
Ciaran Clark nodded home Villa’s opener from Ashley Westwood’s corner, and Almen Abdi equalised for Watford with a curled free-kick just before half-time.
Jordan Ayew’s low drive restored Villa’s lead, but Aly Cissokho was then sent off with 17 minutes to play.
Deeney rose to head home Steven Berghuis’s 90th-minute cross, before slotting in an Odion Ighalo knock-down.
Villa were minutes away from victory, but the Premier League’s bottom club fell to a particularly galling 11th consecutive loss.
Three points for 12th-placed Watford, meanwhile, means they are mathematically assured of their Premier League safety.
