Troost-Ekong doubled Watford’s advantage on the stroke of halftime after Kevin Davis had given the hosts the lead in the third minute of the clash.

Both games ended as 1-0 home wins two seasons ago, when Watford were promoted to the Premier League, but coronavirus restrictions kept supporters out of the grounds for those encounters.

Watford ensured their fans were able to savour local bragging rights thanks to first-half goals from Keinan Davis and William Troost-Ekong.

Luton goalkeeper Ethan Horvath gifted Joao Pedro a third before Ismaila Sarr completed the rout.

Hatters substitute Gabriel Osho was sent off in the closing stages for a nasty challenge on Ken Sema.

Luton’s first loss in eight games brought an end to Watford’s dismal run of three defeats in their previous four matches.
