Brighton thumped Watford 3-0 at Vicarage Road to give manager Graham Potter an ideal Premier League debut.

In Potter's first competitive game in charge of Albion, his side took the lead in the 29th minute after a ball across the box from Pascal Gross was turned into his own net by Abdoulaye Doucoure.

As Watford looked for the equaliser in the second half, Brighton struck again with substitute Florian Andone (65) firing home with his first touch of the ball after coming on just one minute previously.

The three points were sealed when fellow debutant Neal Maupay expertly rounded Ben Foster in the Watford net before tapping home in the 77th minute.

Potter said, I thought we showed courage to try and do what we wanted to do.

When we needed to defend, we did. But our attacking play was good, although we missed the last pass and some opportunities.

But overall, three goals away from home and a clean sheet, I can't complain too much, but I know we can improve."
