Two headed goals from Troy Deeney and M'Baye Niang in the first half saw Watford battle past 10-man Burnley in a 2-1 win at Vicarage Road on Saturday afternoon.
A controversial early red card for Burnley midfielder Jeff Hendrick in the sixth minute proved an early advantage for Watford, who scored headed goals in the first half through Deeney and January signing Niang.
Burnley pulled a goal back through an Ashley Barnes penalty deep into the second half after a Sebastian Prodl handball, but the Clarets could not find an equaliser as Watford held on for the win.
The result means Watford now move up to tenth in the Premier League, ahead of Burnley by one point who slip down into 12th place.
The result also means Burnley's woeful away record continues, having picked up just one point on their travels all season.
For Watford, the result is their second win in a row this week after surprisingly beating Arsenal 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night.
