Watford boss Paulo Pezzolano paid tribute to Danish striker Luca Kjerrumgaard after he scored twice on his home league debut as the Hornets notched their first win of the season by beating QPR 2-1.

The Dons led 1-0 at half-time thanks to a 32nd-minute header from Matty Stevens and their advantage through Marcus Browne’s second-half effort.

Kieran Green’s winner in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage-time secured three points for the Mariners.

The hosts went ahead inside the first minute as Charles Vernam’s corner was headed in by Newport’s Courtney Baker-Richardson.
