Watford boss Javi Gracia 'very happy' to reach FA Cup semis

Watford boss Javi Gracia is delighted to be in the FA Cup semis after their victory over Crystal Palace.

The Hornets will make one trip to Wembley after goals from Etienne Capoue and substitute Andre Gray sealed a 2-1 quarter-final success over Crystal Palace, leaving the Hornets one match away from another journey back to the national stadium at the end of the season.

Gracia said: “I'm very happy because in the beginning the club trust me and now in this moment all the people trust us, they will be happy with this result, with this season and this is the most important thing for me.

“After we'll see what we are able to achieve in the future. I don't know if we will be able to play in the final but in this moment it is our target, enjoy the semi-finals of course but after that try to play in the final with the same mentality we've played all season.

“Trying to be demanding, competitive and game by game I think we'll be able to achieve something different this season."
