Brighton & Hove Albion 2-0 Watford: Brighton make best start to a top-flight campaign

Brighton comfortably beat newly-promoted Watford to ensure their best-ever start to a Premier League campaign.

In what is their ninth season in England's top-flight, it is the first time the Seagulls have won their opening two fixtures.

Graham Potter's side built on their opening-day, comeback win over Burnley with a solid performance in front of their own fans against a Watford side who rarely threatened.

The Hornets set the tone for a sloppy performance from the start, managing just two touches from kick-off before giving the ball away, and they produced only one shot on target in the entire game.
