Watford caretaker manager Hayden Mullins says there were a lot of positives to take from Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Leicester City.

The Hornets are now seven points from safety at the bottom of the Premier League table.

Mullins told BBC Sport: "I think up until the penalty we were in the game and even after it we were still in the game. We have come away from home to a team that has done really, really well and put a performance in.

"What I saw tonight was a side in us that came away from home and showed good levels of fitness, good intelligence on the field, put in a great performance and took it right to the wire. Loads of positives.

"The boys have responded fantastically well. So proud of what they did tonight."
