Diego Llorente's 18th-minute goal was the difference at the final whistle as the Whites pulled three points clear of the drop zone in their seventh game of the season.
Returning from two games sidelined with a hamstring injury, the Spaniard did not wait to make an impact, giving Leeds the early lead by pouncing on a poorly defended corner to poke home from close range.

How are Watford doing?
Watford bounced straight back up to the Premier League after suffering relegation to the Championship at the end of the 2019/2020 season.
Back in the top flight, the Hornets have struggled, going through three managers in an effort to lift them off the bottom of the table.
Roy Hodgson brought about a minor uplift in results - earning twice as many points from his first ten games in charge than Watford gained from the ten games before his appointment at the end of January - but has not yet done enough to take them out of the relegation zone.
In their last Premier League fixture, Watford fell to a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield.
