Wilfired Zaha scored twice as Crystal Palace earned a first win in six Premier League matches with a 4-1 victory over Watford at Vicarage Road.
Jean-Philippe Mateta put Palace ahead on 15 minutes when his left-footed shot deflected off Kiko Femenia and flew beyond goalkeeper Ben Foster.
Watford hit back with an equaliser three minutes later through Moussa Sissoko, who met Femenia's corner to head in his first goal for the club.
Palace restored their lead in spectacular style on 42 minutes, when Conor Gallagher expertly controlled a cross from Tyrick Mitchell before blasting into the roof of the net.
Emmanuel Dennis spurned a great opportunity to equalise before Zaha struck twice in the final five minutes.
First, Zaha controlled a Jordan Ayew cross and fired in, before he went on a solo run and brilliantly found the bottom-right corner of the net.
Palace move up to 11th on 29 points, while Watford drop to 19th with 18 points, four adrift of safety.
