It turns out that being clinical in front of goal wins matches. Who would have thought?
There should never be many things to be negative about after picking up three points and a clean sheet against a side managed by a familiar face which had only previously been beaten once this season.
And Watford's 3-0 win against Middlesborough felt like the full package – a reminder of how we seemed to have got it wrong for so long.
Playing with two out-and-out wingers is something supporters have been calling for. So, to see that deployed in a 4-4-2 formation was a joy and appeared to unlock a new lease of life in the squad.
