Burnley's record signing Jeff Hendrick scored his first goal for the club to help his side beat a lacklustre Watford in the Premier League.


The hosts had carried the greater threat and Hendrick headed in from a Steven Defour cross for the opener.
Troy Deeney had a rare Hornets shot saved before Defour crossed for Michael Keane to nod in a second for Burnley.
Isaac Success went close late on for Watford but the Clarets easily held on for a second league win of the season.
The victory moved Burnley level on seven points with Watford.

Andre who?

Burnley went into the game as this season's lowest scorers in the Premier League with three goals and without striker Andre Gray, for comments on social media.
However, with Sam Vokes as a lone target man up front they looked dangerous with their crosses into the striker before taking the lead when Defour sent in a corner for Hendrick's opener.
Midfielder Defour, who moved to Turf Moor for £8m in the summer, has already become an influential presence for the side and also provided the cross for Keane to score.
Defour has been involved in four of his side's five goals this season, scoring one and assisting three.
"I'm very pleased," said the Belgium international. "The work of the whole team means that I can bring this sort of game, which is what I was bought to do."
Defour will be key for Sean Dyche's side along with their home form, with 13 of Burnley's total of 17 Premier League wins coming at Turf Moor.
