Watford are becoming a team known for never giving up.

Whether it is conceding early in games and fighting back or scoring late to snatch a win, Javi Gracia has created a team you feel could always be on for three points, no matter the circumstance.

In the Hornets' 2-1 victory over Leicester City, it was an all-too-familiar start as the Foxes scored with their first shot on goal.

But as has been the case on many occasions this season, Watford dug in and turned the game around.

Othmane Maamma's equaliser made him the first player since Troy Deeney in 2015 to score in three consecutive away games for Watford – not bad company to be in – before some questionable decision-making from the Leicester keeper gift-wrapped a Boxing Day victory to Watford by misjudging a cross, which Mattie Pollock gladly headed home.
