Watford boss Malky Mackay praised his side for their determined rearguard action in the 1-0 win at Middlesbrough. Tom Cleverley gave the visitors a first-half lead and the Hornets then dug in for victory as Boro squandered a string of good chances. "I was delighted with the way we manufactured the goal," he said. "They combined well and forced the issue and I thought it was a fantastic goal. "But we defended well after that and worked well as a team for the full 95 minutes and that was very pleasing. "We had a coolness of head about us, we were resilient and we showed courage to get the ball down. We stuck to playing good football when under pressure."
