Watford extend their winning run in the premier league this season as they came back from a goal down to defeat Tottenham 2-1 on Sunday.
The club’s captain Troy Deeney reveals how they ignored their manager’s tactics and instruction to cave out a win at home.
The Hornets, who now have four wins from their opening four Premier League games, came from behind courtesy of two set-piece routines, with Deeney nodding in the first and Craig Cathcart heading the winner.
Yet, while Deeney confirms the team have been working hard on dead ball situations under Javi Gracia, he reveals that neither goal came from the manager’s tactics.
In fact, the players deliberately ignored Gracia’s set-piece instructions, according to the Hornets skipper.
He said: “The gaffer has got to take credit. He’s worked a lot on the set-pieces. Funnily enough, the two that he’s worked on we didn’t do.
“We just ignored him and went our own way and the ball fell for us. The players have got to take credit for that.
“If we would have missed he would have hammered us!”
