Within a few hours of Watford clinching promotion to the Premier League there were several videos and pictures of the Hornets celebrating. We have rounded up the best of them.
Watford started Saturday knowing they had to win against Brighton and Hove Albion and hoped Middlesbrough and Norwich City would drop points.
There was party atmosphere even before the Golden Boys kicked off at Brighton...
The Hornets then did their bit in the automatic promotion race by defeating Brighton and Hove Albion 2-0.
It wasn't a vintage Watford performance and there were certainly several nervy moments but Troy Deeney fired the Hornets in front before Matej Vydra sealed the victory late on.
It was job done at the AmEx. Watford’s players travelled back to their London Colney training ground and watched as the Championship’s 3pm kick offs unfolded.
Norwich ended up drawing at Rotherham United while Fulham struck a stoppage time winner against Middlesbrough.
Watford’s players discovered they had been promoted on the team coach...although it appears Odion Ighalo started celebrating earlier than his teammates.
