STEVEN BENDA 8
Was grateful to see Keinan Davis head straight at him early on and wasn't troubled after that. Generally good on the ball and knew when to go direct. Did well late on to preserve the clean sheet.
JOEL LATIBEAUDIERE 8
Solid enough defensively and protected the ball well on numerous occasions to keep Swansea in possession. Grew in the final third in the second half and got a fortunate assist for Joel Piroe before tapping home his first league goal for the club.
HARRY DARLING 8
Carried the ball upfield well time and time again. Always comfortable in possession at the back as the Swans restricted the Hornets to precious little.

BEN CABANGO 8
Very good in possession throughout and made a number of timely defensive interventions in what was a top performance.
RYAN MANNING 8
Deliveries from set-pieces were much improved, and the Irishman caused plenty of problems from the left wing. Did plenty of defensive work, making numerous tackles and interceptions in what was a fine display.
JAY FULTON 8
Read play well on numerous occasions to intercept and was more than happy to go direct when needed. Unlucky to have a shot blocked in the first half but performed very well.
MATT GRIMES 8
Booked early on but always offered himself to help the Swans move from back to front. Such an important figure and got an assist for Latibeaudiere late on.
LUKE CUNDLE 7
Worked tirelessly and, after a quiet first half, really came to life in the second-half. Subbed with the game at 1-0.
OLLIE COOPER 8
Won his fair share of free-kicks but was hit and miss in possession in the opening half. Vital interception that led to his side's opener and his sheer endeavour and energy caused Slaven Bilic's side heaps of problems throughout.
JOEL PIROE - Star Man 9
Dropped so deep in an attempt to get on the ball but was in the right place to rifle home his seventh goal of the campaign. Sublime finish for his second to put the game beyond doubt.
LIAM CULLEN 8
On his first league start since August 2021, Cullen's work-rate was key, and he registered a fine assist for Swansea's opener. Spurned a good opening early on in the second half but rifled home his third goal in as many games before being withdrawn to a standing ovation. Fine display.
Subs
Olivier Ntcham (for Cundle) - Brought some intent to his side's play late on and his passing was slick during his short time on the pitch. Fine tracking back to prevent a Watford chance shortly after coming on. 7
Joe Allen (for Cullen) - Ticked things over nicely when he came on. N/A
