Bristol City manager Steve Cotterill has insisted that his side deserved to beat Watford in their FA Cup clash.
The match at Ashton Gate finished 1-1, with Jay Emmanuel-Thomas equalising for the hosts just seconds after Sean Murray had given Watford the lead in the 84th minute.
Despite grabbing a late draw, Cotterill believes City deserved their place in the fourth-round.
"I thought we played very, very well today," he told the club's official website. "I think we deserved to win the game. I don't think it was a two or a 3-0 but I think we definitely deserved to nick the game. It was a good game."
"[Watford] are a great club with really nice people there. There is a new manager in there now so they'll be looking to grow in the Championship. It was a tough game for our boys today, but I thought we played really, really well."
