Watford captain Troy Deeney has praised the management style of Nigel Pearson.

The Hornets have won twice and drawn once in their last three games, with Deeney scoring three times in the last two games.

"If you don't buy into what the gaffer wants, you won't be here," said Deeney.

"He has hammered me a few times but he has been brilliant with me.

"For the first time in eight years I have been treated like a proper man."
