Another victory for Leeds United, another step towards the Premier League and another reminder that Daniel Farke's team is clearly too good for the championship.
Now there are five goals in seven league games for Daniel James, who scored a sensational nine -minute orthopedic device in the first half in Vicarage Road, six clean sheets in a row for goalkeeper Illan Meslier, and a victory that sends Five Clear Points to Leeds on top.
The last time Leeds lost a league game in November. The last time they granted a league goal on January 4. 18 goals have scored since then when Manor Solomon and Joel Piroe completed the defeat.
Its automatic promotion offer fell last April and face a crispy meeting with the rivals of the title Sheffield United in a couple of weeks between clashes against the play-off chasing Sunderland and West Brom.
“The fire has to keep burning if we want to achieve something,” Farke said. “If we believe they are too good for something, we can't win anything in this league.”
With the side of this side of Leeds, you must risk, you cannot afford any error and need some luck. Watford failed in all aspects.

Imran Louza and Edo Kayembe saw an early shots diverted because of the narrow of Watford before giving Leeds the first game when Kayembe played a blind pass directly to James that ran to score.
Eight minutes later, Leeds won the ball inside his own box and Joel Piroe got into James to double his account after a counter.
James could have had a hat-trick when he almost caught Egil Selvick from his line from within his own half.
Leeds enjoyed a lucky portion for its third when the long -range effort of Manor Salomon took an evil deflection of defender Mattie Pollock before Piroe finished an orderly pass movement to do it four just after the mark of the hour.
“We were in the presence of a very strong Champioanship team,” said Watford Chief Tom Cleverly, whose team has now lost five games at home in the rebound. “It is one of the best teams I've seen at this level.”
