Manchester United 3-0 Watford: Hits and flop as the Red Devils continue their winning run in the league| Premier League 2019-20

Hit: Luke Shaw

Luke Shaw and United's defence put in a great performance against Watford.

Luke Shaw spent most of his time playing the role of a centre-back tonight alongside Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof, in a three-man defence, as right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka made overlapping runs on the right flank.

The English defender showed an excellent reading of the game and held off his position brilliantly at moments to cut-off the incoming balls directed towards Deeney, denying the burly striker multiple tap-ins.

Though his runs deep into the opposition half were limited, he linked well with James and was able to track back as well when required.

Flop: Ben Foster

Foster has not kept a clean sheet in his last four appearances.

Ben Foster is usually one of the best players for Watford on the pitch, but it just wasn't his day. After making a bunch of good saves in the early stages of the game, he committed an error in the 40th minute, which led to a penalty for the hosts, which Fernandes converted comfortably.

That mistake resulted in the first goal for the home side, which proved to be the turning point of the game, as it visibly affected the visitor's gameplay.

Though he produced an initial save when Martial ran unchecked into the Watford penalty box, he should not have left his post in the first place, had he let his defenders deal with the player and covered the near post, the goal could've been saved, as Martial was not having a good game up until that point and making him take the few extra touches from a tight angle, would've certainly resulted in a wasted opportunity.

Though it should also be noted that he was not helped much by his defenders, who let him exposed at moments.
