Javi Gracia has hailed in-form forward Gerard Deulofeu after his double helped Watford take all three points from the John Smith Stadium against Huddersfield on Saturday afternoon.
The win sent Watford into the driving seat in the hunt for European football next season, with the Hornets sitting pretty in seventh place and one point above Leicester - with a game in hand on the Foxes to boot.
The Hornets are unbeaten against teams outside the top six in the league since December and have an FA cup final to look forward to thanks to another brace from Deulofe in their semi-final against Wolves.

He went on to say: "I prefer in this moment to start thinking [about] the next game. We play in three days and we have to be recovered and ready to play against a very good team in Southampton, and it's our target at this moment.
