Mark Noble marked a first Premier League start of the season with a rare goal as West Ham United earned a 4-1 comeback win at Watford.
The home side led on four minutes, when Emmanuel Dennis worked himself some space and beat Lukasz Fabianski for his eighth league goal of the season.
After twice going close to equalising, West Ham turned the match on its head midway through the half.
Tomas Soucek levelled in the 27th minute with a low finish from Jarrod Bowen's pass before Said Benrahma lashed home their second less than two minutes later.
It was 3-1 on 58 minutes, with Noble's penalty after Daniel Bachmann had fouled Bowen, the captain's first league goal since January 2020.
Substitute Nikola Vlasic's first goal for West Ham in added time sealed a first win in four matches.
West Ham move up to fifth on 31 points. Watford remain in 17th with 13 points, two off the relegation zone.
