Watford climbed up to fourth place in the Championship with a dramatic 3-2 win over Stoke City.
The win was their first in four games after winless games against Bournemouth, Wycombe and Barnsley.
Here's how we rated their invidiual performances.
Ben Foster - 6
Not much he could've done about either of Stoke's goals and not a lot else for him to do.
Kiko Femenia - 7
Arguably the most creative player on the pitch again. A consistent threat on the right.
Ben Wilmot - 5
A shaky performance at the back, conceded possession too easily, but is progressive minded and tries to build attacks the way Vladimir Ivic wants.
Christian Kabasele - 5.5
Had to sort out a couple of mistakes from his defensive teammates, but made a couple of errors of his own. Should have done better for Stoke's second goal.
Craig Cathcart - 5
Lost track of Fletcher for the opening goal and was unconvincing with his passing.
Ken Sema - 7
Didn't give up and did magnificently well to create the winning goal. Was found wanting defensively at times and looked a little one dimensional in attack, but all in all a good showing.
Nathaniel Chalobah - 4
Another underwhelming display. Lacks tempo and creativity at the moment and is not working as a link between the defenders and attackers in the way Ivic is hoping.
Etienne Capoue - 5
A frustrating performance from Capoue whose decision making was often negative. Passed backwards far too often.
Tom Cleverley - 6.5
A decent strike for the equalising goal regardless of the controversy. Not a bad performance, but nothing special.
Ismaila Sarr - 8
Put the effort in from start to finish even if he was lacking an end product at times. Took his goal very well after missing a good chance earlier in the match and did well to win the penalty.
Joao Pedro - 6.5
The system does not suit him, but he took his penalty well enough. I suppose he deserves some praise for his part in Watford's first goal as well.
SUBS
Andre Gray - 6.5
Offered more of a direct attacking approach than Pedro and was unlucky not to score. A way off his best yet, but is slowly getting sharper.
James Garner - 6
A lot more progressive and forward thinking a midfielder than some of Watford's options. Perhaps just lacks a bit of match intelligence and maturity.
Will Hughes - N/A
Joined too late to make enough of an impact.
