Watford coach Roy Hodgson has heaped praise on his attacking trio.

The Hornets emerged with a vital 2-1 away win against Southampton, aiding their fight for survival.

Cucho Hernandez scored a neat opener in the game, intercepting a Mohammed Salisu back pass, before rounding goalkeeper Fraser Forster and scoring.

He then scored a second 20 minutes later with a volley from a Juraj Kucka cross.

"I thought that the attitude of the players and their desire to play well and win this game," Hodgson told reporters post-game.

"I thought that was there for all to see.

"I thought the three front players, and we've been berating [them] to try and get a little bit more work from, a bit more pressing, a bit more understanding of their positional play, I thought that was a very positive aspect of our play.

"Because apart from the fact that they did pressurise the Southampton defence, they managed to create some pretty good chances too. So we were good value for our two goals."
