Watford got bullied all over the pitch - Deeney

Watford were "bullied" by a Burnley team who wanted victory more, according to their captain Troy Deeney after going down 2-0 at Turf Moor.

Watford captain Troy Deeney lambasted his team-mates after their listless 2-0 Premier League defeat to Burnley.

Headed goals from Jeff Hendrick and Michael Keane either side of half-time gave Sean Dyche's men their first win in four league games.

The visitors' display at Turf Moor was a far cry from their stirring wins over West Ham and Manchester United coming into the match and striker Deeney offered a scathing assessment.

"It was not good enough, I can't say anything other than that, we got bullied to a man all over the pitch," he told BBC Sport.
