Here are our player ratings from Vicarage Road.

Starting XI

Daniel Iversen: Not much he could do with the goal. Made some routine saves over the piece and collected the ball when required. 6.5

Jordan Storey: One loose pass in the first half and a scare in the second, but managed to recover. Dug in well towards the end. 6.5

Liam Lindsay: Impressive in the heart of defensive. Won everything in the North End box. So unlucky not to see his header fly in at the other end. 8

Andrew Hughes: Rode his luck after being booked but was aggressive and committed as ever. 7

Odel Offiah: Stuck to his task defensively against a tricky opponent and was strong in moments. 7

Jamal Lewis: Played the full 90 minutes down the left. Sent a couple of inviting crosses in. Watford got the better of him a few times. 6

Stefan Thordarson: PNE needed a big performance from him and he put in a decent shift. Made tackles, blocks and interceptions. 7

Jordan Thompson: Got through an hour on debut. Fatigue kicked in but a steady shift. Calm and composed in possession. 6.5

Alfie Devine: Made a real impact in the first half especially. Did both sides of the game efficiently. Had a couple of efforts from range. 7.5

Lewis Dobbin: Carried a big threat in the first half. A high quality assist for the opening goal. Created a chance for Devine, too. Ran at Watford regularly. 7.5

Daniel Jebbison: Took his goal well. Worked hard as the lone striker. Had a couple of moments in the second half which he couldn’t make count. 7

Substitutes

Thierry Small: Looked to be positive down the right. One or two loose moments. 6

Mads Frokjaer: Ran forward with the ball a few times. Had a chance to slide Small through right at the death but the two just couldn’t quite time it right. 6

Pol Valentin: Came on and looked solid on his return from injury. 6.5

Michael Smith: Never got the chance he would’ve wanted but worked hard, tracking back to help the team out defensively. 6
