MATHEW RYAN 6: Never seriously troubled. Late flutters when he dropped a cross.

BRUNO 7: Comfortable afternoon defensively for the captain.

CONNOR GOLDSON 8: Accomplished Premier League debut. Could have been even better with a goal.

LEWIS DUNK 7: Impressive again under little pressure this time. Should have headed in a corner at 1-0.

MARKUS SUTTNER 7: With Gaetan Bong (knee rested) the Austrian deputised effectively. Distributed well.

ANTHONY KNOCKAERT 6: Watford clearly regarded him as a threat. Tried a bit too hard at times, overplaying.

DALE STEPHENS 7: Another efficient 90 minutes. Looks comfortable at the level.

DAVY PROPPER 7: Mobile presence in the middle of the park. Skied a shooting chance in the first half.

SOLLY MARCH 6: Mixed bag with the ball. Diligent defensively but looked a little short of confidence.

PASCAL GROSS 8: Hard to argue with nine goals scored or assisted. Good all-round contribution.

TOMER HEMED 7: Led the line well, finding room between the Watford centre-halves. Only blemish should have scored one or two.

SUBS

BERAM KAYAL: Helped protect the lead on Premier League home debut.

GLENN MURRAY: Brief 200th Albion appearance.

JOSE IZQUIERDO: Last-gasp replacement for March.
