Watford 3-1 Leicester. (Agg. 3-2)
Troy Deeney scored Watford's aggregate winner in an extraordinary
finish to their Championship play-off semi-final against Leicester.
Twenty seconds after Anthony Knockaert had a debatable penalty saved at the other end, Deeney thumped in a shot.
Earlier on, a stunning Matej Vydra volley wiped away Leicester's 1-0 first-leg advantage.
David Nugent headed in to restore Leicester's lead and, after another Vydra strike, Deeney netted the winner.
A heartbroken Knockaert was in tears at
the final whistle, while joyous Hornets fans invaded the pitch after
their side booked their place in the Championship play-off final at
Wembley on Monday, 27 May.
Following a second leg of drama, tension and
excitement, Deeney's goal, after keeper Manuel Almunia saved Knockaert's
injury-time spot-kick, finally separated the two sides.
