WATFORD captain Troy Deeney can have no complaints about his red card. His forearm into the face of midfielder Lucas Torreira was pre-meditated and caught him at speed, clearly endangerin­g his opponent’s safety. Referee Craig Pawson would have seen the deliberate movement of Deeney’s arm and was correct in sending him off. Deeney will receive a three-match ban and any appeal has little chance of success.
