Watford boss Claudio Ranieri was delighted with the manner of their 4-1 thumping of Manchester United.
The Hornets were the dominant team throughout an enthralling match, eventually breaking the deadlock when Joshua King tapped home from close range in the 28th minute.
Just before half-time Ismaïla Sarr, who had earlier missed a penalty, banished any negative memories by lashing the ball past David De Gea to make it 2-0.
The away side were quick out of the blocks and scored the first goal after the break, but after Harry Maguire received his marching orders for two bookable offences, Joāo Pedro and Emmanuel Dennis sealed a deserved victory for the Hornets.
“It was a fantastic performance," Ranieri said.
“I was confident before the match. My players are good players but of course, they must understand the Premier League.
“The first half was amazing. We pressed higher and in the second half we conceded some good chances to draw the match.
“We continued to press and play to score more goals and, in the end, we won the match. We are very satisfied with the performance and for the three points. They were important."
Ranieri h isn't getting carried away and is hoping to see consistent displays from the Hornets, starting against Leicester City next weekend.
“It was very important to win today, but I want to see consistency in the next performances," Ranieri said.
“We didn't get this after the Everton win, so I need my players to show they are learning the philosophy when we play our next game.
“Today I loved our philosophy. I've been thinking and speaking a lot about it. The players are slowly understanding and putting it on the pitch.
“This can be a foundation, but I want to see consistency. We are now ready to fight against the teams coming up."
