Watford captain Troy Deeney has credited Nigel Pearson for the win over Liverpool on Sunday.

The Hornets handed Jurgen Klopp's side their first loss of the Premier League season with a 3-0 drubbing at Vicarage Road.

Pearson used last Thursday as a yoga and swimming day rather than usual training, which Deeney says helped his team to victory.

"Everyone was putting too much pressure on this," he went on.

"That's testament to the manager, man-managing and not getting caught up in the hype over 'We have to win this game'.

"So we had our least demanding week in months. I don't think that's going to be something the gaffer does going forward, but we go again."
