Watford captain Troy Deeney says his side drew inspiration from Tyson Fury's heavyweight title win to beat Liverpool on Sunday.

Fury upset Deontay Wilder a fortnight ago with an aggressive style that saw him claim a seventh-round stoppage.

The Hornets surprised Liverpool with an equally offensive performance, claiming a 3-0 victory over the previously unbeaten side.

"We took heed off Tyson Fury," Deeney told the press after the match.

"We thought we're going to go on the front foot and have it out with them. We were good and they were a little bit off.

"Let's not act like they were at their best. We took our chances and I don't know what more to say. I don't want to be disrespectful to them."
