Slavisa Jokanovic delighted by Watford triumph over Middlesbrough

Watford manager Slavisa Jokanovic has praised his side for earning a "very good" victory over Championship promotion rivals Middlesbrough.

The Hornets kept their automatic promotion hopes alive on Monday as they saw off Boro 2-0 at Vicarage Road.

"I must be happy," Jokanovic told Sky Sports News. "It's a good result for us. We played a very good game today and, like always, I will try to prepare for what is in front of us.

"I think my team played a very good game against a strong team like Middlesbrough. We stopped them and we found the space to start to play the football we strive for. We attacked very well and we defended very well and in my opinion we made one completely good game."

Watford are back in action on Saturday when they make the trip to Millwall.
