Munoz’s men put aside their recent dip in form to register an emphatic win that moved the Hornets to within six points of the automatic promotion places.
Ken Sema and Ismaila Sarr both scored twice, with Will Hughes and Philip Zinckernagel also on target.
The margin of victory was Watford’s biggest for six years and the clean sheet made it 14 shut-outs for the season.
Hornets boss Munoz rang the changes after a 0-0 draw with Coventry, with captain Troy Deeney left on the bench.
And he insisted the win was a reflection of the spirit within his squad.
“I think this is our team spirit, we need to continue with this,” Munoz said.
“We need to continue to understand all the players are important in our squad. I’m sure we will come back to some bad moments. This is true in football.
