Wolverhampton Wanderers were beaten 3-2 at Wembley by Watford on Sunday.

Watford striker Andre Gray has told the Guardian that the Hornets felt that Wolverhampton Wanderers were scared by full time at Wembley.

Watford beat Wolves 3-2 in the FA Cup semi-final at the weekend in dramatic circumstances.

Wolves were 2-0 in the contest heading into the final 11 minutes, but Watford scored twice to take the game to extra-time.

The Hornets formed a team huddle on the pitch at the end of 90 minutes, and Gray revealed that his side sensed fear in the Wolves squad.

“He [Troy Deeney] said the same thing everyone did: ‘We’ve got this,’” Gray said.

“‘They’re on the back foot now, they’re scared, let’s not take our foot off the gas, let’s go hell for leather and keep going.’ I don’t think many players have played 120 minutes that intense but our fitness levels were incredible. It shows a lot. But we just knew we had them at that moment, and we just needed to keep our composure.”

The words certainly seemed to work for Watford, as a goal from Gerard Deulofeu in extra-time completed the turnaround.

Wolves now will be looking to bounce back from the disappointment and continue the fine season they are having back in the top flight.

Nuno’s side are next in action at the weekend when they take on Southampton.
