BRUCE IMPRESSED WITH DISPLAY

The Hull City manager Steve Bruce has said that he is extremely delighted with his display of his team in the recent match against Watford. Hull City managed to bring an end to the seven-game unbeaten run that had pushed Watford to the sixth position in the table by beating them 2-1 at home. As a result of this victory, Hull City themselves strengthen their position for finishing the play-offs come the end of the season. There is also an outside chance of Steve Bruce and his men getting promoted to the Premier league automatically.

David Meyler opened the scoring for Hull City in the match and the opposition could have no complaints about it because Hull City were easily the best team in the first half. Even though Watford were extremely good in the second half, they were unable to break the stubborn defence of Hull City. Steve Bruce’s men also managed extended their lead in the second half through a goal from Robbie Brady, who scored with a wonderful 25-yard freekick. Nathaniel Chalobah’s effort was cleared off the line for Watford, who only managed to get a consolation in the injury time through the goal from Troy Deeney. It was the sixth goal in just seven matches for Troy Deeney, as he continues to display impressive form.

“Watford in the second half were better but the first half I can’t really remember my goalkeeper having a touch of the ball and we’ve had two chances in the first three minutes which we’ve missed. But we knew Gianfranco’s (Zola) team would be different in the second half, they’re on a great run of form but I think we were worthy winners. We could have been and should have been out of sight,” said Steve Bruce after the match, which raised Hull into the fourth position.
