Stoke City 1-0 Watford: Andre Vidigal strikes winner as Potters beat Horns

Summer signing Andre Vidigal was the star turn again as Stoke City beat Watford to maintain their winning home start to the season.

Just 11 months ago, in only his second home game in charge, Alex Neil's Potters lost 4-0 to the Hornets, Slaven Bilic's first game as Watford boss.

But Watford have since got rid of two more managers - and Stoke showed just much progress they have made under Neil, especially after a summer refit.

Vidigal scored the only goal of the game eight minutes into the second half - his fourth in three games - when he latched onto Ki-Jana Hoever's right-wing cross.
