Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores admits Manchester City deserved their 2-0 win.

City defeated Watford through goals from Raheem Sterling and Fernandinho.

Sanchez Flores said: "I think we played well in the first half in defensive terms but it was difficult to resist City for the full match. It was very difficult to play against this kind of opponent.

"They have a lot of velocity in the transition, they have a lot of quality in the pass, they are physically strong.

"For the future we will learn from this kind of experience. It is very difficult to play against City in these conditions."
