Watford demolish shaky Stoke as Slaven Bilic era starts with a bang

02-Oct-2022 13:36:45 | The Guardian

Slaven Bilic enjoyed a memorable start to life as Watford manager with a fine 4-0 victory at Stoke, thanks to goals from Ismaïla Sarr, Ken Sema, Keinan Davis and Vakoun Bayo.

Bilic, who managed West Ham between 2015 and 2017, became Watford’s ninth manager in three years after Rob Edwards was sacked on Monday following a torrid run of just one win in seven Championship games. Sunday’s victory was the club’s biggest since hammering Bristol City 6-0 in February 2021.
