Watford are making light work of Reading this afternoon, cruising to a 2-0 win against the Royals in their Championship clash at Vicarage Road at half time.
The hosts took the lead within the first 50 seconds of the game as Troy Deeney played in Almen Abdi, who stroked the ball past Mikkel Andersen with the outside of his boot.
In the seventh minute, the Swiss international limped off with a suspected injury, Fernando Forestieri taking his place.
Watford could have doubled their lead moments later when Marco Motta lashed a volley from 25 yards out towards goal, but despite beating the Royals keeper, the ball cannoned off the bar.
The Hornets continued to push forward as Forestieri fired wide of the right-hand post on the quarter-hour mark and Deeney forced a block 25 minutes in.
Forestieri then came close to scoring a stunning bicycle kick from Adlene Guedioura's cross, but the effort was tipped over.
It mattered little because Watford succeeded in getting a second not long before the break, the Italian substitute playing a through-ball to Matej Vydra, who duly rifled high into Andersen's near post.
