Watford 3-1 Blackburn: Joao Pedro and Tom Cleverley score to show Hornets aren't so boring after all as they move up to third in the Championship

Boring, boring Watford? Not a bit of it. Having gained a reputation as 1-0 specialists during the early weeks of the Championship season, the Hornets finally found their scoring touch to see off Blackburn.

After a series of binary scorelines, Vladimir Ivic's team moved up several gears in attack as Joao Pedro and Tom Cleverley strikes, plus Darragh Lenihan's own goal, fuelled hopes of an immediate Premier League return.

With Troy Deeney and Andre Gray yet to return, Watford should be able to out-gun most of their promotion rivals as the season progresses.
