'He really is the magic man!': Watford fans gush over brilliant Gerard Deulofeu

Watford have sealed their spot in the FA Cup final against Manchester City after a magical performance against Wolves at Wembley.

The Hornets fell two-goals behind in the semi-final, following goals from Matt Doherty and Raul Jimenez, but responded valiantly with a late surge that saw Javi Gracia's side emerge 3-2 victors.

Watford's star of the show was certainly Gerard Deulofeu, who came off the bench to provide hope for his side with a fantastic curled finish with 11 minutes remaining, before Troy Deeney won a penalty right at the death and smashed home ferociously.

Deulofeu provided another moment of magic in extra time, bursting through on goal before neatly tucking beyond the reach of John Ruddy - which sent Watford into dreamland.
