Watford youngster Ryan Cassidy mixed emotions after Kop goal

Watford youngster Ryan Cassidy admitted frustration after their FA Youth Cup semifinal defeat to Liverpool.

The 17-year-old, who was captain for the game, did get on the score sheet but it was not enough to overcome a dominant first half display from the Reds.

The Liverpool fan said, "I'm happy that I scored at the Kop end, but I'm sad because obviously we've come this far and we thought that we could have got to the final.

"I'm so proud because coming into the FA Youth Cup, no one expected us to get past the first round we were in. We did, and then the second and then the momentum kept going but just today wasn't our day, they were better than us on the day."
