Southampton signal end to poor run by outclassing Watford
On an evening when Watford were as poor as the hosts were intense, goals in each half from Shane Long and Dusan Tadic took Southampton into 12th place and within two points of their underwhelming visitors.
Southampton were the more energetic of the two teams immediately after kick-off and Matt Targett, playing as a wing-back, received possession on the left wing before curling an accurate, 17th-minute cross into the penalty area towards Long, from where the forward neatly headed beyond goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes and inside the right post.
