Watford manager Vladimir Ivic said:
"Tough night, we expected something like that before the game. Today we didn't do our job to the best we can.
"We cannot be satisfied with the way we played and it's something we're not satisfied with for the first time in a while.
"We had a lot of problems with our defensive shape. When we had the ball we couldn't create things. This is something we have to work on."
