Domingos Quina, Troy Deeney, Nathaniel Chalobah and Joao Pedro scored for the Hornets, with Tom Barkhuizen finding the net for PNE.
Here's how the players fared on the day...
5. Tom Barkhuizen - 6
If anything was to happen it seemed likely to come from Barkhuizen, used his pace well out wide and brought others into it on occasion. Tried his luck and got a reward with the goal.
6. Ben Pearson - 7
Like Ben Davies, he showed he's a cut above. Put out fires all over the park, calmness in possession and excellent pace and mobility.
7. Daniel Johnson - 6
Never really got into the game in midfield and was a few yards off in most occasions. Was played deep alongside Pearson and wasn't quite able to make runs from deep.
8. Brad Potts - 6
Almost found the opener early on and showed signs of promise making inside runs to support wingers. A willing runner but sloppy in possession and not involved enough in quality attacks.
