Heurelho Gomes apologises to Watford fans for errors in Leicester loss
Saturday 7 November 2015 19:38, UK
Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes has apologised for the errors that cost his side defeat at Leicester.
Gomes let a tame shot from N'Golo Kante slip through his fingers for the Foxes' first in the second half and then clattered into Jamie Vardy in the box, conceding a penalty which Vardy converted to seal the points in a 2-1 win.
Gomes tweeted: "Just want to apologise to the fans, the boys and the manager. I did let you down today and I'm feeling really sad about that. Thanks for all you support, means a lot to me."
Hornets boss Quique Sanches Flores also refused to blame Gomes for his mistakes, insisting he has been an important member of the team so far this season.
Flores told Sky Sports: "It was an accident. We didn't expect these types of goals but it's happened today and we need to look forward to the next match.
