Reigning champions Manchester City moved top of the Premier League for the first time this season with a dominant win over struggling Watford.
The hosts were repeatedly ripped apart by City’s movement, passing and creativity and only a number of saves from goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann kept the score down.
Watford captain Moussa Sissoko speaking to Sky Sport, stated that it was a difficult tasks to face City.
“It was a very tough game. We knew that City are always tough, they have a big squad.
“After our performance against Chelsea, we put in a lot of effort. Today it wasn’t easy, we gave out best, we tried to play our way – but City were better than us, we have to accept that.
“The most important thing is to stay together and fight – we did that.
“This is our mentality now – to commit from the beginning to the end.
“We can say our season will start now against an opponent that is more our level and hopefully we’ll play as we did today and get some points.
“The most important thing was to give our best, We did it and we can be proud of that, even if we lose. We have time to check what was wrong today and get ready for the next game.
“We’ve played some big teams in a row, we competed well against the best teams in England, now we’ll play against teams that are more or less our level.”
Arsenal, Manchester United, Leicester, Chelsea and Manchester City were Watford’s last five opponents.
They beat United and lost to the other four.
Watford are three points above the bottom three.
