REPORT | The Bilic era is off and running with a big win on the road WatfordFC
The Slaven Bilic era is up and running after Watford put a poor Stoke City side to the sword to claim their first away win of the season with an emphatic 4-0 victory.
Bilic made four changes from the team selected by Edwards for the 2-2 draw with Sunderland, all of which were effectively enforced. The Hornets remained in command and twice went close to doubling their advantage in almost as many minutes midway through the opening period. The hosts had struggled offensively but they did begin to offer more of a threat in the latter stages of the first half, helped by Watford often conceding possession cheaply, but the closest they came was when Liam Delap curled the ball onto the roof of the net on the angle.
Louza made his return to action as a replacement for Asprilla just before the hour and soon after the Hornets got the all-important second goal.
