Burnley head coach Scott Parker told BBC Radio Lancashire:

“I’m delighted with the team. We came here for three points and managed to walk away with them.

“They [his players] react constantly to adversity. They’re reacting the right way. They find a way. There’s quality there of course but sometimes it’s a mentality that can get you to that point [of winning a game]. It was brilliant today.

“Watford are a very good side. Tom has done an incredible job here. We knew that and I knew that looking at the prep leading into the game. I knew the threat they pose. Physically a very, very strong team, running power. You could see that from their physical numbers.

“And they put the ball in areas and cause you problems.

“We knew that this game was definitely a tough game for us and we needed to address it in the right way and we’ve managed to do that and get out of it.

“We’ll enjoy this result. The next game is our biggest game of the season again which is Sheffield [United].”
