Beaten Steve Evans hails Watford and ‘fantastic’ Quique Sanchez Flores

Watford 1 Leeds United 0: Defeated Leeds manager Steve Evans has hailed cup counterpart Quique Sanchez Flores as a “fantastic addition” to the Barclays Premier League.

Saturday’s win means the Hornets have reached the sixth round of the FA Cup for the first time in almost a decade, and coupled with impressive league form, has earned Flores and his side plenty of plaudits this season.

“Credit to Quique as I think his team play some wonderful football,” said Evans after his side’s loss at Vicarage Road.
