Watford ‘keeper Huerelho Gomes has thanked the Hornets fans for their support after he endured a difficult afternoon in his side’s 2-1 defeat at home to Leicester. N’Golo Kanté’s tame 55th minute effort dribbled in under his body.

 

It was a tough match for the Brazilian, but he says he can recover with the help of the fans, “know I have the support from them. They have been great with me the whole time, and the boys as well. When I conceded the goal, they all came to me and showed me support.

 

“I have to be brave, I have to continue, and yeah, today was just one of those off days for me. I need to keep going, because we are doing a great job, and we proved that again today we can compete at a high level.”

 

Gomes admits that his error was a slip of concentration, “You can’t switch off for more than two seconds in this league. I was thinking more about clearing the ball than making the save on that occasion. It’s the life of a goalkeeper though, and I will be strong and make sure I help Watford, like I have done many times.”

 

The ex Spurs and PSV goalkeeper went on to tell the Watford official website that he appreciates the backing of the Hornets faithful, “I would like to apologise to the club, the fans and the players who were amazing during the game.

 

“I have to say thanks to everyone that is always behind me, especially in situations like this. I always try to do my best on the pitch, but today was not our day. There was an opportunity for us to get a point today, I don’t think they were better than us, but the result is all that counts. It was good for them, but not for us.“
