Troy Deeney inspires Watford to victory at Burnley

Football

Second half strikes from captain Troy Deeney and Will Hughes gave Watford an impressive 3-1 win at Burnley on Sunday.

Former Burnley forward Andre Gray opened the scoring in the third minute with a superbly taken volley following a fine Deeney cross from the right.

Three minutes later, Burnley got back on level terms when James Tarkowski rose well at the back post to head in a Johann Berg Gudmundsson corner.

After an evenly balanced and entertaining first half, Watford hit Burnley, who have now gone seven league games without a win, twice.

Deeney drove home in the 48th minute after being found in the box by Abdoulaye Doucoure, and then a terrible giveaway by Burnley defender Matt Lowton to Will Hughes resulted in the Watford midfielder firing past Joe Hart with a brilliant left-foot strike.
