The Hornets’ boss was extremely pleased with the performance of the Golden Boys, especially in the presence of supporters for the first time in a year-and-a-half.

“It was a very good day today,” Muñoz explained.

It was Graham Taylor’s day and to see our fans in our stadium was amazing.

“I’m very happy with the players after working hard for seven weeks.

“For me, it was my first game in the Premier League, and I’ve really enjoyed it.”

Muñoz was happy to see how Ismaïla Sarr and Emmanuel Dennis worked together, after scoring the first two goals and combining neatly during the game.

The most important thing is the team understands each other,” he continued.

“We tried to create space for (Emmanuel) Dennis and (Ismaïla) Sarr. It was a brilliant game as we could’ve scored more.

“We know how well he (Sarr) can play, and we know he is a top player. If he has space, he can beat anyone. 

“I think (Ismaïla) Sarr, (Emmanuel) Dennis and (Ken) Sema understand how to attack the space, especially today.”

Dennis was voted as Stake Man of The Match beating his compatriot Oghenekaro Etebo and Sarr.
