Watford manager Walter Mazzarri said the club's 3-1 win over Manchester United is the result of hard work on the training pitch.
After a slow start to the season in which the Hornets only claimed one point from their first three matches they have now won two games in a row, with the win against Jose Mourinho's side coming almost 30 years to the day since their last victory against United, on Sept. 16, 1986.
"I'm very pleased for the fans," Mazzarri said. "They told me it was 30 years since Watford beat Manchester United, so this win brings a lot of satisfaction."

"We played very well, even against Arsenal and Chelsea here at home, but we were more unlucky than today.
"I am very happy for my players, and most of all I am happy for the three points.
"It will give us the confidence to keep working on everything we've been doing up to now. It means that my work that we do every day in training is giving its worth now on the pitch."
