Watford boss Walter Mazzarri calls on players to repeat Arsenal display and show same intensity against Burnley

Walter Mazzarri has told his Watford players they must channel the same intensity which secured victory at Arsenal into the visit of Burnley.

The Hornets stunned Arsene Wenger's side to lead 2-0 inside the opening 15 minutes with goals from Younes Kaboul and Troy Deeney.

Watford then held out against the expected onslaught after Alex Iwobi had set up a tense finale and went on to collect a first Premier League win since December 10.

The result left Watford in 13th place and crucially with some breathing space over the developing survival battle below them.
