Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores has praised his strike duo Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney in the wake of Sunday's 3-0 win over Liverpool.

Ighalo scored a double to take his season tally to 12 goals while Deeney was as hard-working as ever as the Hornets moved up to seventh place on the Premier League table with a fourth successive victory.

In the wake of another quality attacking display, Flores spoke highly of his attacking pair who have 17 goals and six assists between them this season.

"They're not completely similar, but they're strikers with the same characteristics," he told Sky Sports.

"They're working a lot for the team in terms of the defence, so it's very important."
