Steven Defour proves to be the difference as Burnley outclass Watford

Burnley eased to a 2-0 home win over Watford thanks to headed goals from Jeff Hendrick and Michael Keane, with the Clarets fully deserving their second victory of the Premier League season.

Set pieces proved the Hornets' undoing as Steven Defour's classy delivery was the difference between the sides, with Sean Dyche's decision to stick with 4-5-1 justified in style by his team's superb defensive shape.

Positives

Burnley were rarely troubled at the back and while they didn't create a lot of clear chances, once Keane scored the second goal, the result was never in doubt.
