Southampton v Watford: Story of the match

Richarlison, right, was a constant threat

Long-range strikes from Abdoulaye Doucoure and Daryl Janmaat ended Southampton's unbeaten start and lifted Watford into the top four.

Goals either side of half-time secured a 2-0 victory for the upwardly-mobile Hornets as Saints' struggles in front of goal continued.

Doucoure pounced shortly before the break from outside the box and Janmaat hit a second-half cracker just four minutes after coming on as a substitute.

"Have Watford been practising long-range shots? Daryl Janmaat and Abdoulaye Doucoure might have been... #SOUWAT" - the Premier League's official account, with pictures of the two strikes (https://twitter.com/premierleague/status/906542249923751936).

STAR MAN: Richarlison.

Watford's Brazilian youngster looks a real find, a constant threat down the left with pace to burn and an eye for a trick or two.

MOMENT OF THE MATCH

Daryl Janmaat had only been on the pitch five minutes when he let fly from 25 yards to double Watford's lead.
