Heurelho Gomes relieved after helping Watford end slide with narrow victory over Leicester in Premier League

Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes admits it was a relief to get their season back on track against Leicester and was pleased to have played his part in their comeback victory over the Foxes.

The Hornets had picked up just one point from their previous six matches heading into the Boxing Day clash at Vicarage Road, and another defeat looked on the cards when Riyad Mahrez gave Leicester the lead.

But Molla Wague drew the teams level and an own goal from Kasper Schmeichel put Watford 2-1 ahead midway through the second half - a scoreline they kept hold of, thanks in no small part to the efforts of Gomes.
