Watford head coach Quique Flores has said that his team put in an excellent performance to beat West Ham United 2-0 at Vicarage Road.

Two goals from Nigerian striker Odion Ighalo sealed the three points for the Hornets, who have now won back-to-back Premier League games, and Flores felt that his players deserved the praise coming their way.

Flores told Sky Sports News: "We played really well, we are really happy with the result and we are really pleased with the performance of the players. I think this was an amazing performance and we played really well with the ball and we felt comfortable.

"I had the feeling that we created chances [in previous games] and sometimes we score, sometimes not but I was not worried about the situation. It is good to score two today and it is good for the morale of the players."

The Spaniard also reserved praise for the goalscorer and admitted that his team-mates appreciate the hard work he puts in.

The 50-year-old added: "It is not just the scoring but the workrate of Ighalo is really good for the team, he knows his defensive position and I think he always puts in a high performance."

Watford have moved into the top half of the Premier League table.
