Cleverley 'super proud' of young group in Hull win

Watford boss Tom Cleverley has praised his young team which featured three teenagers, a 20-year-old and 21-year-old in their victory against Hull City which keeps their faint hopes of a play-off place alive.

James Mbankwa (21) and Caleb Wiley (20) both started for the Hornets in their 1-0 win, along with teenage strikers Rocco Vata, Zavier Massiah-Edwards and Mamadou Doumbia.

"I am super, super proud this evening of a group of really inexperienced players, really maturely seeing out a game, determined to win the game, and lead by their captain [Moussa Sissoko], who was outstanding all night," Cleverley said.
