Ashley Barnes delighted with Burnley rout of Watford

Ashley Barnes was delighted both he and Chris Wood struck for Burnley against Watford.

Both frontmen bagged their sixth goals of the season as the Clarets beat Watford 3-0 to secure their first away win of the campaign.

“It's been long-awaited and I'm just glad we got the three points," said Barnes to the club's website.

“It was quite sloppy in the first half and they were on top.

“The second half was a lot better. We knew as long as we stayed in the game and the longer it went on we would have chances.

“We've started off where we left off last year. There's good little competition going with all the strikers, which is good."
