An injury time goal from Troy Deeney rescued victory from the jaws of despair for Watford at home to Leicester in the Championship playoff semi-final second leg.

Just seconds earlier Leicester had been awarded a harsh penalty, but Manuel Almunia had saved Anthony Knockaert's spot kick.

The Foxes had entered today's second leg at Vicarage Road holding a 1 - 0 lead.

However, the Hornets were pegged back when David Nugent headed in 19 minutes in.

But Vydra restored Watford's lead and restored parity on aggregate in the second half before late drama ensued.
