LONDON (REUTERS) - Emmanuel Dennis and Cucho Hernandez scored on their debuts as Watford made a winning return to the Premier League by beating Aston Villa 3-2 in their season opener.

Relegated on the final day of the pandemic-hit 2019-2020 season, the Hornets bounced straight back up from the Championship last term and put on a show against Villa for their fans, who were back in the stands to cheer them on.
