Gianfranco Zola: "This team never lets me down"

Watford boss Gianfranco Zola has hailed his team, stating that they have "never let him down" following their win over Hull City.

Troy Deeney scored the only goal of the game to give the Hornets three precious points the Championship promotion race.

"This was a six-pointer," Zola told reporters. "It was even more difficult than the other ones.

"This team never lets me down. Every time there's a game which is very important, they always perform. That shows you the character and temperament of this group."

Watford are third in the table now, only a point behind second-placed Hull.
