Newcastle 0-3 Watford

Marco Silva got the better of Rafael Benitez in spectacular style as Watford stormed to Premier League victory at Newcastle.

The Portuguese correctly identified the Magpies' Achilles heel - right-back DeAndre Yedlin's tendency to abandon his defensive duties to provide an extra attacking option - and his players exploited it in brutal fashion to cruise to a 3-0 win.

All three goals came down that wing, with Will Hughes converting Marin Zeegelaar's 19th-minute cross and Yedlin deflecting home another before the break before Andre Gray - a man Benitez wanted to sign during the summer - finished from close range from Richarlison's ball in.

The Hornets also passed up a series of other opportunities in front of a largely frustrated crowd of 52,188 as they condemned the Magpies to a fourth successive defeat and exposed the lack of genuine quality available to Benitez, whose hopes of reaching 20 points by the end of the year look forlorn.
