Hornets sting Newcastle with comeback win
Watford has a six-point buffer to Bournemouth in the Premier League after coming from behind to beat Newcastle United 2-1 with a pair of Troy Deeney penalties.
The Hornets were deservedly behind when Dwight Gayle tapped in from Federico Fernandez's header, but Newcastle did not take full advantage of its first-half superiority and paid the price after the restart.
Matt Ritchie was adjudged to have felled Kiko Femenia and Deeney thrashed home to level matters, a feat he repeated eight minutes from time after dreadful defending from Javier Manquillo to seal the points.
