Brighton started well and looked in control but lost possession in their own half through Aaron Mooy and Doucoure pounced.

The Watford midfielder drove towards the Brighton box, and unleashed a powerful right-footed effort that gave Albion goal keeper Maty Ryan no chance.

Brighton had enjoyed 61 per cent posession and that was Watford's first shot on goal.
