West Ham picked up their first win of the season with a commanding performance against Watford. Club-record signing Sebastien Haller scored twice and Mark Noble returned with a goal to seal the points.

Noble played his first game of the season and it was 15 years to the day that he made his West Ham debut. The 32-year-old skipper took three minutes to open the scoring, netting a penalty after Manuel Lanzini was tripped in the box.

Andre Gray hit back for Watford, though, and the Hammers went into the break level. But the second-half performance was a vast improvement and Haller showcased his ability. The French striker scored two goals, including an acrobatic overhead kick, to win the game.

Here are six of the best pictures as West Ham beat Watford at Vicarage Road.
