Will Hughes scored against his old club as Watford beat Derby to move third and level on points with second-placed Brentford in the Championship.
In the midfielder's first game against the Rams since joining Watford in 2017, he guided a low shot into the far corner to double the home side's lead less than three minutes after Joao Pedro's fortunate opener.
Brazilian forward Pedro did not know much about his eighth goal of the season as the ball was flicked onto him by Derby defender Andre Wisdom and past David Marshall after a great turn of pace and cutback by Ismaila Sarr.
