West Ham 2-0 Watford
Paul Donovan reports from the London Stadium

WEST HAM ran out comfortable winners of this keenly contested mid-table Premier League clash.

Boosted by the return of Marko Arnautovic and Michail Antonio to the starting line-up, West Ham were on the front foot from the start.

Arnautovic was a constant threat, twisting and turning his way into the area early on, only to see Joao Mario drive his close range shot straight at Watford keeper Orestis Karnezis.
