Watford boss Javi Gracia hailed the finishing of Gerard Deulofeu after his hat-trick in victory over Cardiff City.

The Hornets thrashed Cardiff 5-1 on Friday night.

Gracia said: "There was four games before I think when I showed that we are the team with most clear chances missed and then we were creating chances.

"Today Gerard had two one-v-one with the keeper and scored, in other games maybe he didn't.

"It's the difference in between one game and others. I'm very proud of all my players because, as I said, all of them are showing their quality, their commitment and I'm very happy for the supporters."
