​Watford midfielder Cleverley praises Deeney, Silva after Arsenal win

Watford star Tom Cleverley hails the impact made by teammate Troy Deeney and manager Marco Silva following the victory over Arsenal.

Cleverley grabbed a dramatic late goal to hand Watford a stunning 2-1 comeback victory over Arsenal at Vicarage Road on Saturday and following the game, the Hornets hero praised the duo of Troy Deeney and Marco Silva for helping his side complete the turnaround.

Cleverley said: "The change from the first half to the second half is down to two people today. The manager, who really got stuck into us and said we needed to believe in ourselves, and Troy, who came on and changed the game.

"That shows the spirit we have. Troy has not been playing much but he has come on and he has changed the game. It shows the determination of everyone to get into the team."
