WATFORD'S CLEVERLEY POST MATCH 🗣

It was an honour for me to be next to Pep on the touchline. The objective was to be more resilient after the weekend against Norwich and the players needed to respond. We showed real resilience and valued the art of defending and we can take belief from pushing the best team in the world all of the way.

PEP ON NUNES 🗣

He has special qualities few players have. Unique. Space in transitions is unbelievable. Pleased for him and the goal. Still he has things to read and it's not easy to adapt. Really pleased for him, he's a lovely guy and lovely guys always deserves good things.
