Quique Sanchez Flores very happy with Watford display

Quique Sanchez Flores was delighted with his side's performance as Watford secured a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Heurelho Gomes saved a late Glenn Murray penalty to preserve a point for his side, and Flores paid tribute to the goalkeeper when speaking to Sky Sports after the game.

"He [Gomes] made an amazing save in the last moment," said Flores.

"He's been putting in high level performances all season, for us he's a very important player, and an important person in the dressing room."

Watford went behind on 28 minutes after Glenn Murray headed home a Matt Ritchie cross, before Odion Ighalo levelled matters just before half-time.

The Hornets had opportunities to go ahead in the second half through Ben Watson and Ikechi Anya, and Flores was very happy with the level of performance he saw.

"I am really pleased with the performance," continued Flores.

"The first 20 minutes we wanted to play with a good personality, taking control [of the game].

"After 20 minutes we lost a little bit of control, we had a problem with the central defenders, they were trying to play the long ball. We play well with the ball on the ground.

"In the second half the same, we started the first 20 minutes in control - and to get one point away from home is always very important."

Anya was forced off late on, which will be a concern for Scotland with important international matches against Poland and Gibraltar coming up.

"I don't know exactly the problem [on Anya]," Flores said when asked about the winger.

"He has a little problem with a muscle."
