Top scorer James Collins came off the bench to score with his first touch from the penalty spot with 12 minutes left to dent the Hornets’ bid for promotion back to the Premier League.

A jubilant Jones said: “That was a big, significant win, but what a thoroughly deserved win, a wonderful performance from start to finish.

“We were totally dominant, probably as dominant a performance as we’ve ever had here. I’m so, so delighted.

“I want to dedicate that to Gary Sweet (chief executive), to the 2020 consortium for the work they’ve done and also our fans, because I know how much that means to everyone here.

“A big win, a win against your rivals and we’ve waited quite a long time. It’s 15 years since they’ve played this game, and we’ve been at different levels for 15 years.”
