Watford maintained their place in the top ten with their fifth league win, while Leicester remain precariously close to the relegation zone
First-half goals from Etienne Capoue and Roberto Pereyra proved enough to secure a fifth Premier League win of the season for Watford as they downed struggling champions Leicester City 2-1 at Vicarage Road.
Capoue volleyed Walter Mazzarri's men in front after just 33 seconds on Saturday before Pereyra's curling effort made it 2-0 in the 12th minute.
And although Riyad Mahrez swiftly pulled one back for Leicester from the spot after Miguel Britos had brought down Jamie Vardy, the visitors were ultimately unable to add to their tally of just one league point on the road this term.
