Jeff Hendrick nets as Burnley deliver

Burnley 2 Watford 0: Ireland international Jeff Hendrick and Michael Keane scored their first Premier League goals as Burnley brushed aside a ragged Watford 2-0 at Turf Moor last night.

Hendrick, the club’s £10.5m (€12.1m) record signing in the summer, nodded home Steven Defour’s 38th-minute corner and the Belgian bagged a second assist when Keane rose to head a second shortly after half-time.

Defour has now scored one and set up three of Burnley’s five goals this season, and here provided the kind of spark that was visibly lacking from the visitors, who suffered a sharp comedown having turned over Manchester United last time out.
