Watford came from behind to win for the second time in a week when they beat Newcastle United on Saturday.
A poor first-half was followed by a big improvement, as Troy Deeney struck twice form the spot to overcome Dwight Gayle's opener.
Here's how we assessed their individual efforts.
Ben Foster - 7
Made some big saves, including from Allan Saint-Maximin and Dwight Gayle to keep the Hornets in the game. Once again was vocal throughout.
Adam Masina - 7
Kept the tricky Saint-Maximin quiet for the most part. Worked hard once again.
Craig Dawson - 6
Was poor for the goal, but recovered well and played much better in the second-half. Made an excellent tackle on Miguel Almiron to prevent a shot on goal.
Christian Kabasele - 6
Made some questionable decisions in the first-half. Had less to do after the break as Newcastle slowed down in attack, but still made some important tackles and blocks.
Kiko Femenia - 7
Didn't give Matt Ritchie much space to operate in and did well to win the first penalty. Almost set up Danny Welbeck in the first-half with a sweeping cross.
Etienne Capoue - 5.5
Was one of the main culprits for Newcastle finding so much space in the box for the goal. Still finding life hard after the restart.
Will Hughes - 7.5
Once again a stand out performer. Battles incredibly hard in the centre and is a vital link between the attacking players and the defenders. Surely one of the first names on the team sheet at the moment.
Abdoualye Doucoure - 5.5
Like Capoue is still looking rusty and finding it difficult to make the impact he is capable of.
Danny Welbeck - 7
Doubled up with Masina to keep Saint-Maximin quiet and was unlucky not to score when his shot hit the post and was scrambled off the line.
Ismaila Sarr - 6
Had Danny Rose worried throughout, but still needs to improve his end product amd consistency.
Troy Deeney - 8
Managed the pressure well to score twice from the spot and caused the Newcastle defenders plenty of problems after the break. His first-half performance wasn't up to much, but he rolled his socks up and to his credit emerged a much improved player after the break.
Substitutes
Tom Cleverley - N/A
Arrived too late to make an impact.
Andre Gray - N/A
Arrived too late to make an impact.
