Watford manager Javi Gracia has praised the 'character and desire' shown by his players in the Hornets' 2-1 defeat to Manchester City on Tuesday night.
Goals from Leroy Sané and Riyad Mahrez put City in control until a late goal from Abdoulaye Doucouré set up a tense finale at Vicarage Road.
Following the defeat to City, Watford are without a win in the Premier League since October, having won only two of their last 11 league games.
Speaking to BBC Sport, Gracia said: "We will always fight, that's our mentality. We competed until the end, I am happy.
