What were the key highlights from Watford's victory over Tottenham?
A telling touch on this.
They have done. It's the main man, Troy of the Hornets.
Players come from far and wide, but they're imbued with the spirit here. Oh! Half-cart. That is the spirit.
Spirit in abundance today. What a comeback from Walford to beat Spurs here. 2-1 from a goal down to make it four wins out of four to start the season. The goal scorers, Deeney and Cathcart. Now with Jeff Shreves.
Craig, Troy, four wins on the spin. Was that easily the best of the lot, though? Yeah, character shown. We were disappointed first half. We defended really well, but going forward we were quite poor. And then, yeah, just to show that resilience and obviously going the goal down, a lot of people would fold. We've said it before, between ourselves, that we can make this a real fortress. It's a tight pitch and the two goals were great goals. Craig, is it a landmark, first Premier League week over Tottenham?
Yeah, absolutely, since we got promoted I think it's been one of our toughest fixtures. We haven't been able to beat them so far, so that's another big step for us. Four wins in a row has been a great achievement, but we don't want to stop here, we've got a good break now and then we've got a great game against Man Utd next.
And also the win takes away from the fact normally a very, very assured Watford defence, but a moment of uncertainty let them in.
Yeah, it was just a bit of an unlucky goal, you know. Yeah, I think we were just desperate to try to get the ball away and it's one of them things that, I think it's gone in off Dukes in the end, is that right? Yeah, but we showed a great reaction to go 1-0 down to Spurs and come back and win the games. It was absolutely brilliant. Troy, in some ways, perhaps did you show them too much respect?
Yeah, you could probably say that. I think we just went away from our game. We tried to out-football them at times and made a lot of silly mistakes, losing the ball in the middle of the pitch. But we got back to what we do and, you know, when we started getting into it, me and Dre up front and then obviously when Isaac come on as well, we caused people problems with big lumps and... Not many defenders like it. Two good goals, two good headers, and after that we held on really well and I thought we limited Tottenham to very few chances. Probably the only Harry Kane one was probably the only chance I could think of. Craig, how loud did you see your goal?
Yeah, I was meant to be blocking for Cabo to go around the back, and then I just managed to see the flight of the ball well. Yeah, I got a great connection on it, and I was just delighted to see it go in. Like you said, it was great to hold on at the end. It was difficult, and they put us under a lot of pressure, but it's a great confidence booster for us again.
Troy, more than the three points, what does today give you? It gives us confidence. Like Craig said, we can't get too carried away. Obviously, four wins is a huge achievement, but I think a lot of people were saying we've only beat so-called lesser teams, so maybe from the outside it gives them a chance to give us a little bit more respect than that. But we've got a tough month. We've got Man Utd next, Fulham away, and then Arsenal away as well, so it's a tough month. But we're not naive enough to think we're going to win the league ready for it now. We've just got to keep cracking on, and people don't want to play us. Is it the perfect way, Craig, to leave before the international break?
Yeah, absolutely. We didn't want to go in disappointed. The lads that aren't going to internationals, they can have a nice break. It's a great feeling to go into that international break with four wins. I'm sure the lads that are off will enjoy it.
OK, I know you've got a motorbike taxi to grab, but before you go, one last job. Troy picked up the Premier League man of the match.
Cheers, lads. Thank you. Thank you very much, guys.
Well, Troy says they are big lumps, but are they more than that? Oh, a lot more than that. I think it's shown today there's two ways to win a football match.
