Watford striker Andre Gray: I'll never watch FA Cup final

Watford striker Andre Gray says he'll never be able to watch a replay of the FA Cup final thrashing by Manchester City.

But the defiant Hornets striker, who came off the bench with his side already half way to the biggest ever thrashing in a Wembley final, claims Javi Gracia's side have already shown they will be back.

Gray said: “We're all disappointed. It's hard to put into words really. We got battered in the end. The scoreline doesn't lie.

“It's hard for the manager to say anything after a defeat like that. It's difficult for anyone. There's nothing for anyone to say. Everybody knows, we got battered.

“Fortunately, now we've got the summer and then obviously pre-season. There's a lot of time to dust ourselves down and forget about it.

“We're professionals, we want to be better next season, learn from this and move on.

“Will we be back here one day? Of course. Look, it's been the best season in the club's history. We deserved to be here. But we've come up short.

"Will I ever be able to watch the game again? I don't think so. It's hard to sit there… We got blown away."
