Watford boss Javi Gracia happy with FA Cup win at Newcastle

Watford defeated Newcastle United 2-0 in Saturday's FA Cup fourth round tie.

Andre Gray's 62nd-minute strike and a late second from Isaac Success were enough to settle a forgettable tie 2-0 in front of a crowd of 34,604 on a day when the magic of the FA Cup failed to arrive on Tyneside - the managers made 18 changes between them.

Watford boss Javi Gracia said: "In this moment we are in a good position in the league, but we are in January yet and there's a lot of games in both competitions.

"Now is the moment when we have to show our level and be demanding and show our ambition.

"We worked well. We dominated a part of the game and in that moment we score the goals it was a good performance for us.

"I am very pleased for all of them sometimes it's not easy for me to explain how important are all my players. When I say I believe in all my squad, it's because I believe in all my squad.

"In games like today it's important to show all of them are working really well."
