Watford boss Roy Hodgson hailed the performance of Ben Foster for their draw at Manchester United.
Foster kept a clean sheet for the stalemate.
Hodgson said, “It's always going to be hard-fought draw here.
“We have a real top-class goalkeeper, certainly Premiership class and possibly above that. If you going to play up here, as we did today with the team we had to put out, you are going to need Ben Foster because there is no way we can be good enough to restrict them to not even one chance in the game.
“The boys did as much as we could ask of them today. I'm really proud of their performance and they should be proud of their performance. I expected to go into the dressing room to see people leaping about with glee, but I didn't see that. They obviously have very high expectations of themselves.
“Can we stay that steadfast in defence? Can we get the work out of our three front players which we had today? They were fantastic. Can those three midfield players cover as much ground? Already we have the best stats in the past three or four games than we have probably had all season for running. We have to keep that going.
“There is no easier way, but there will be plenty more of these games to come. The thing that is most pleasing today is that we did get a good draw up here and we got it by working hard and playing quite well. We should be able to believe that if we can keep reproducing performances like that, then we will pick up points. Man United are still one of the best teams in the league."
