Watford’s Deeney – West Ham were ‘mugging us off’

Watford captain Troy Deeney said his team were motivated to fight back from 2-0 down at West Ham because they felt their opponents were embarrassing them.

Dimitri Payet set up Michail Antonio's second goal with a rabona after Manuel Lanzini had tried to score with the same skill.

Odion Ighalo, Deeney, Etienne Capoue and Jose Holebas gave Watford victory.

"As a player I thought they were trying to mug us off a little bit," Deeney said.

"You can appreciate good skill and that was great skill for the second goal but as a professional you cannot allow someone to do that to you.

"You see that in the playground with six and seven year olds and we are grown men," he added.
