Watford boss Gracia left frustrated after Capoue dismissal

Watford boss Javi Gracia was left frustrated after Etienne Capoue's dismissal in defeat to Leicester City.

The Hornets midfielder was dismissed for what referee Graham Scott deemed a dangerous two-footed challenge on Foxes substitute Kelechi Iheanacho in front of the dugouts.

The Hornets boss said: “I saw it clear because it was in front of me. I prefer not to say anything only what Iheanacho said. He said Capoue didn't touch him and that is more important than what I can say."

Asked if he thought an appeal stood a good chance, Gracia responded: “It doesn't depend on me but we are going to appeal."
