Watford's Heurelho Gomes delighted with "huge win" over West Bromwich Albion

Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes has described his side's 1-0 win over West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns as "huge".

The 35-year-old denied Saido Berahino from the penalty spot twice after Ben Watson gave the Hornets the lead.

The triumph, which was just the third that Watford have recorded in 2016, pushed Quique Flores's side past the 40-point mark.

"Praise God for this moment," Watford's Twitter page quotes Gomes as saying. "We needed this win, it's a huge win. Now we must keep going. The boys worked so hard.

"The fans push us all the way and the boys take lots of credit. We deserve the points we have. Win was so important."

Watford are now 12th in the league table.
