Watford produced what was arguably the upset of the weekend’s Premier League action as they managed to beat Manchester United 3-1 at Vicarage Road on Sunday.
The Hornets took the lead with Etienne Capoue firing in just after the half-hour mark, before Marcus Rashford equalised for United on 62 minutes with a cool finish.

It looked as though the game was heading for a draw, but Watford winger Juan Camilo Zuniga had other ideas as his shot from the centre of the box flew into the bottom left corner to put the hosts 2-1 up.
The game was settled on 95 minutes when captain Troy Deeney converted a penalty, after United midfielder Marouane Fellaini had felled the lively Zuniga in the box.
The result sees Watford move up to eighth in the Premier League on seven points, while United moved down to sixth on nine points.
Naturally both sets of fans had different opinions on the result so here are the best reactions from the fans on Twitter following the match:
There were happy fans….

Then there were the not so happy fans…
Shambolic defending for the first 2 goals vs Watford. Don’t know where to start with them. pic.twitter.com/q29u3Vv0L4

How can I be expected to play well against Watford.
