The battle for Premier League survival remains tense but Leeds United's 3-0 win over Watford will certainly have eased the worries of many Whites supporters. Raphinha opened the scoring in stunning fashion, rendering Hornets stopper Ben Foster helpless with a stunning strike.
Rodrigo then capitalised on a defensive mix-up to double the advantage in the second-half before Jack Harrison put the game beyond any doubt with a left-footed drive that flew beyond Foster. As well as clinching a crucial three points, Leeds also heaped misery on a relegation rival and kept Roy Hodgson's strugglers in 19th place.
It was not the most glamorous performance but Leeds restricted Watford to just one shot on target and were clinical when it mattered to pick up a vital win. It was particularly important considering the run of fixtures that awaits Leeds, although they are not the only side facing a daunting run-in.
