Watford ended a six-game winless run in the Premier League by sealing a 1-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns this evening.
Ben Watson opened the scoring in the 27th minute following a scrappy start, but it is goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes who takes the headlines as he denied Saido Berahino from the penalty spot twice.

"I don't think the age mix is right at the moment," Pulis told reporters. "We had a big meeting with the scouting chaps yesterday in respect of looking for younger talent. We have got to balance it a bit better than this year. I think we've got one of the oldest squads in the Premier League.
"I'll wait until the games have finished and then sit down with the chairman. Obviously we'll prepare stuff in the weeks before. We are identifying players, what we need round the training ground.
"We've had a report done on the fitness, the running stats, what we're good and not good on, when we've picked up injuries, what we can do to improve pre-season. I've got all that data this morning.
"We're trying to push things on and grow the football club. Then we can filter the information down to the academy and they can work off that basis."

"The time Jonas has been here has been fantastic and I've really enjoyed the time I've had with him and with the club. Speaking to the club about the plans they have moving forward, hopefully we can step on.
"Since I've been here it's always been about progression. We staggered a little bit for a couple of years, but I think this season we've progressed again and, hopefully, with a few additions we can establish ourselves as a top-10 club."
Olsson added: "It's good to be part of the squad for another year, it makes it nine for me and six for Gareth. It's nice to be part of this club and I'm happy to play with Gareth for another year.
"When you make decisions about your future, there's certain things you weigh up and, for me, it really has been about being part of this group for another year.
"Both of us have been here a long time but I think we can agree that the dressing room we have now really is something special. I'm really happy and proud to be part of this team and this league for another season."

Flores told reporters: "We are relaxed inside the club, I'm not worried for my future. I'm really happy in Watford and really happy with this group and in terms of how the club are with me.
"I have strong contact with the owner so I don't need to be supported every time, I'm not this type of person."
