David Moyes' side gained their first win of the season, at Bournemouth, before the international break.

And Watmore, fresh from scoring a stunning goal in England Under-21s' defeat by France, says the players are determined to pick up from where they left off when they return to action against the east Yorkshire club at the Stadium of Light.
