Gomes denies Hiddink's Chelsea three points at Watford

Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink praised his former keeper Heurelho Gomes for an outstanding performance for Watford on Wednesday night.

The Brazilian shot-stopper denied his former PSV Eindhoven manager a victory by producing several important saves in the second half at Vicarage Road.

With the match ending 0-0, Hiddink was in high praise for Man of the Match Gomes and his contribution to the result.

"I'm disappointed because we didn't get the deserved three points," Hiddink said.

"My former goalie Gomes was given man of the match and he highly deserves it because he made some tremendous saves in the last period of the game when we were threatening to go for the win."
