Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes hails 'sensational' FA Cup win

Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes was delighted with his performance for their FA Cup win over Crystal Palace.

Gomes led the full-time celebrations at Vicarage Road, with the 38-year-old goalkeeper, who is set to retire at the end of the season, perhaps eyeing one last hurrah.

"It's sensational. I couldn't ask for more," Gomes told BBC Match of the Day. "It was amazing today - it was emotional to be honest.

"It has been a great five years here. I am 99% sure I will retire at the end of the season but still 1% I haven't decided, but that is what I plan for from two or three years ago. I am 38 so I think it is the end of my career here."
