Watford star’s shoulder barge on Tottenham defender summed up the Hornets win.
It takes a real feat of strength from a player to knock Tottenham defender Davinson Sanchez off the ball.
Watford striker Troy Deeney sent Sanchez flying during Sunday’s game at Vicarage Road, with a firm shoulder barge when the two players battled for possession.
It was a statement moment from Deeney, who has started the Premier League season in superb form.
Deeney’s show of strength brought a message from Ade Akinfenwa, regarded by FIFA video game series as the strongest footballer around.
Deeney’s Watford sit top of the Premier League after a dream start to the season in which they have won four games out of four.
Davinson Sanchez is left to lick his wounds and move on, relieved that he won’t have to come up against Troy Deeney every week.
Deeney takes on Manchester United next up at Vicarage Road and the Red Devils’ defence will have to come prepared for a physical battle.
