Marco Silva says speculation linking him to Everton did not distract him as his side sailed to victory at Vicarage Road on Sunday.
Goals from Will Hughes and Richarlison continued Watford's superb start to the season and piled misery on new West Ham boss David Moyes.
The rumour mill had been in full swing in the build-up to this game, suggesting Silva is about to leave the club, but the Portuguese insisted it was business as usual for him and his team.
He said: "There has been zero distraction. We know what our work is, we did a fantastic week, the players worked really hard and today they performed really well and we deserved the three points.
