Watford manager Gianfranco Zola believes that his side were "perfect" during Saturday's 4-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers in the Championship.

Watford manager Gianfranco Zola has claimed that his side's performance was "perfect" during Saturday's 4-0 win over Blackburn Rovers in the Championship.

A brace from Troy Deeney and strikes from Almen Abdi and Matthew Briggs saw the Hornets keep alive their slim hopes of automatic promotion at Vicarage Road.

"What can I say, everything went perfect - a lot of goals, good performance, a good quality of football and a big crowd and a Sardinian day out there," Zola told Sky Sports News. "It's been an ideal Saturday afternoon."

Watford, who are now guaranteed at least a playoff place, are four points behind second-placed Hull City with two games remaining.
