Ben Foster was delighted to help Watford 'stop the rot' against Newcastle United on Saturday.

The Hornets finally ended a run of seven defeats in all competitions with a 1-1 draw at St. James' Park.

"I'm glad I could help the team a little bit today," Watford keeper Foster told the Premier League. "Today was about stopping the rot and definitely not losing and I think when you're playing these six pointers against the likes of Newcastle, Norwich, Burnley, the most important thing is to not lose and to score like we did is very pleasing.

"I think we just need a little bit more belief. We know we've got good players didn't get starting until we went 1-0 down.

"That's psychology. We're a bit better than in the olden times at talking about how we're feeling. For me it's one of the biggest things that can hold you back and we need to realise why it takes going a goal down for us to start believing in ourselves. It's almost like we have nothing to lose when we go a goal down and we have to just go for it, but we need to do that from the first minute."
