Watford's Deeney In Trouble After Celebrating Goal Against Chelsea By Swearing

Watford striker Troy Deeney could be in hot water with English FA after raising his middle fingers while celebrating scoring the opening goal against Chelsea on Monday night.

The Hornets were awarded a 42nd-minute penalty after Gerard Deulofeu was brought down by Thibaut Courtois before Deeney stepped up to fired his side ahead.

The 29-year-old was jeered by Chelsea fans as he prepared to take the penalty but, once he had converted from 12 yards, ran off the other way and made the gesture to the crowd.

At the end of the game, Chelsea were thrashed 4-1 by Watford.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli was banned for one match and fined £3,800 (N1.9m) for a similar gesture last September.
