"Very important" win pleases Watford's Almen Abdi

Watford midfielder Almen Abdi has stressed the importance of his side's 3-0 win over Rotherham United last night.

The Hornets went into the clash at Vicarage Road on the back of a home defeat by the same scoreline at the hands of fellow promotion candidates Norwich City.

However, they responded positively against the Millers - something that pleased the Swiss international.

"After the defeat on Saturday it was very important for us to win today at home," the 28-year-old told the club's official website.

"I think we played well, we won 3-0 at home and it could have been more. I could have scored a goal, but the most important thing is the three points."

On Saturday, Watford will travel to Elland Road for a clash against Leeds United.
