Watford stretched the gap between themselves and their promotion rivals with a 2-0 win over Reading.
Here's how we assessed their individual efforts in the match.
Daniel Bachmann - 7
Made some vital stops when called upon and his distribution was effective.
Kiko Femenia - 6.5
Good link up play for the first goal, constantly made himself available down the right. Got caught out defensively a couple of times.
William Troost-Ekong - 5
Another game in which his passing was questionable. Needed help from others around him.
Francisco Sierralta - 6.5
A performance that wasn't without error, but he defended solidly enough.
Adam Masina - 6
Some decent deliveries into the box from the left. Settled down and improved in the second half.
Will Hughes - 6
Had a tough time in the first half but grew into the game in the second.
Nathaniel Chalobah - 5
The team looked better after he left the pitch at half time.
Philip Zinckernagel - 6
Had an awful first half, despite setting up the second goal and seemed destined for a second booking. He had a better second half, as did most people.
Ken Sema - 5.5
Looked exhausted. Hopefully he can benefit from not having a midweek game this week.
Ismaila Sarr - 8.5
Two sensational strikes in the first half were the difference between the two teams. Another excellent display.
Joao Pedro - 6.5
Flashes of excitement, but still off the pace.
SUBS
Carlos Sanchez - 7
Transformed the game after coming off the bench for the second half.
Craig Cathcart - 6
Looked solid, did all that was required of him.
Andre Gray - N/A
Isaac Success - N/A
Players must have played a minimum of 15 minutes to receive a rating.
