Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster insists Europe within their grasp

Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster insists they're capable of Europa League qualification this season.

Gerard Deulofeu's dazzling hat-trick inspired a 5-1 thumping of Cardiff City on Friday night to lift the Hornets up to seventh, whilst also securing their Premier League status for another season.

"One of the big drives was not just survive and do the minimum," said the Hornets goalkeeper. "We wanted to push it to the next level and we feel that we've got the squad to do that.

"Some of the players in our team you are talking 30, 40, 50million-pound players. So we've definitely got the quality, we've got the strength in depth as well. We just need to keep it going.

"When we're firing and popping it around like that, they look incredible from where I stand. It was a thing of beauty, it's great to watch them play so effortlessly and confidently."
