United's Brazilian star Raphinha fired Leeds ahead with a neat finish from the edge of the box in the 21st minute and Jesse Marsch's side took a 1-0 lead into the break.
Early Watford pressure at the start of the second half then no doubt caused some nervous moments in the away end but the Whites doubled their lead in the 73rd minute as record signing Rodrigo netted in front of United's delighted fans.
The Spaniard wheeled away to celebrate with the visiting contingent who still had one final treat in store as Jack Harrison bagged United's third goal with five minutes left.
Here are ten pictures of the delighted fans in the away end as well as Leeds celebrating their success.
