Fantastic Pereyra, Disappointing Deulofeu – The best and the worst rated Watford players vs Newcastle

Christian Kabasele – 7.5/10

The centre-back looked pretty comfortable, despite almost putting the ball into his own net at one point. He won a lot of defensive duels and tackled well.

Craig Cathcart – 7/10

Cathcart formed a good partnership with Kabasele at the back today and wasn’t threatened much.

Daryl Janmaat – 6/10

Janmaat has had a great season for Watford but did not have his best game today. Got a needless yellow card and never really looked comfortable.

Roberto Pereyra – 8.5/10

Pereyra had a fantastic game today and looked dangerous whenever he got the ball. Got a goal and an assist.

Etienne Capoue – 7/10

Played well in the midfield and broke up the opposition’s play well.

Abdoulaye Doucoure– 7.5/10

The physical midfielder was excellent for his team. He was everywhere and got a good assist as well.

Will Hughes – 6.5/10

A strange position for Hughes on the right-hand side of the midfield. He wasn’t at his best and a lot of his passes went astray.

Troy Deeney – 6/10

A very average performance from the striker and he will be very disappointed to have had his penalty saved.

Andre Gray – 7.5/10

Scored a good goal for his team and will look to take his performance into next season.

Substitutes

Gerard Deulofeu – 5.5/10

Replaced Pereyra in the 59th minute but did not have a good game at all.

Adrian Mariappa – 6.5/10

Came on to replace Troy Deeney early in the second half to shore up the Watford defence. Helped repel the Newcastle attacks well.

Richarlison – 6/10

Came on late in the second half and looked lazy in the attack.
