Troy Deeney's Post-Match Interview Is Proof He's Hard As Nails

Troy Deeney gave a brilliant post-match interview following his sides draw with Fulham.

The Watford captain was subject to a dangerous tackle from Timothy Fosu-Mensah in the first-half with Martin Atkinson brandishing just a yellow card.

I don't think there would've been any complaints if a red card was shown.

To be fair, Deeney helped the Dutch defender from receiving a straight red card.

He didn't overreact or make a meal of it, and that sentiment was echoed during his post-match interview.

When Deeney was asked about the hefty challenge, he said: "Maybe I need to roll around screaming about it but that's not really my game, its just a tackle isn't it and we get on with it.

Class - brilliant attitude.

The Manchester United loanee has since apologised for his tackle.

Meanwhile, whilst Watford dropped two points, they're still in fourth place having won four games from six league matches.
