Premier League 2017/18: 5 Talking Points from gameweek 13

#4 The Hornets: The best of the rest?

Newcastle United v Watford - Premier League

Burnley may sit above them in the table, but following their emphatic 3-0 win away to a resurgent Newcastle side, Watford have proven that they're the most exciting and dynamic team, outside of the top six.

Every time Watford surged forwards with the ball, a goal looked probable. The width provided by Zeegelaar and Femenia on the flanks was well received by the attacking pairing of Richarlison and Andre Gray, who were nuisances for the Magpies' back-line all game.

Having to face-up to an intimidating 52,000 capacity crowd in one of England's most iconic stadia, Watford handled the occasion expertly, coping with both the physical and psychological factors. Consequently, this game really does mark when the Watford boys became men.

It's now two wins on the bounce without conceding, for Marco Silva's team, who were on a three-game losing run prior to this. Their last two results outline that they've got the longevity to continue performing and will not be pushed back by a couple of defeats.
