Introductions to management in a new country seldom go much better than this.
Xisco Munoz, parachuted into Watford five days before Christmas to rescue their Premier League return mission, saw his new team defeat league leaders Norwich in his first match in charge.
It was thoroughly deserved as well, with Watford finding a fluidity in attack and a general self-confidence that has been absent from their football for a while.
Ismaila Sarr was excellent throughout and a worthy match-winner and his contribution will no doubt be especially pleasing to Xisco as a former winger.
