By Steve TongueLONDON (Reuters) - Premier League clubs Watford and Hull City, and Championship club Leeds United, paid the penalty for fielding weakened teams when they were all knocked out of the FA Cup in the fourth round on Sunday. Watford lost 1-0 to League One (third tier) side Millwall and on the other side of London, Hull, FA Cup finalists three years ago, were humbled 4-1 by Championship (second tier) side Fulham after missing two late penalties. Leeds,, fourth in the Championship and giving greater priority to returning to the Premier League after a 13-year absence, lost 1-0 to Sutton United, who joined fellow fifth-tier National League club Lincoln City in the last 16. Manager Neil Harris felt his mid-table League One team fully deserved their victory over a side 40 places above them. "This club and this team epitomise what the FA Cup is all about."
