EPL: Bournemouth 0-2 Watford

Etienne Capouel celebrates scoring

Second-half goals from Richarlison and Etienne Capoue handed Watford a deserved 2-0 win over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

Richarlison - signed from Fluminense in August - made the breakthrough after 73 minutes, the Brazilian scoring on his full debut for his new team.

And the visitors wrapped up the points four minutes from time when substitute Capoue scored a screamer from long range to hand new manager Marco Silva his first away win in the Premier League.

As a result, Watford are off the mark this season thanks to their first league win since April 1, but the Cherries have begun the campaign with two straight losses, scoring no goals in the process.

While the Hornets largely controlled the opening 45 minutes on the south coast, with Nathaniel Chalobah and Abdoulaye Doucoure dominating midfield, it was the home side who created the best openings.

However, Heurelho Gomes was on hand to deny the likes of Ryan Fraser and Benik Afobe, with smart stops, before Watford nearly went ahead in first-half stoppage time.

Richarlison showed some neat feet in a tight space in the box to bamboozle Adam Smith, only for fellow new boy Andre Gray to side-foot over the bar from just six yards out.

The chances kept on coming Watford's way after the break, though, with Chalobah in particular wasting one great opening after failing to score when faced with just Asmir Begovic to beat.

However, that miss was soon forgotten when the visitors did finally open the scoring through Richarlison, who found himself in the right place to tap home after Begovic and Charlie Daniels had failed to deal with Gray's low cross into the six-yard box.

Despite the introduction of Jermain Defoe, it was Watford who scored again with just minutes remaining as Capoue beat Begovic with a thumping 30-yard effort.
