Twitter reacts to Sky's Watford-Troy Deeney blooper

The former Hornets captain signed for Birmingham last August but features alongside Bukayo Saka ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash.

Football fans wasted little time highlighting the blooper on social media.

Some of Sky’s coverage is a shambles. Not as if Deeney left Watford about 7 month ago pic.twitter.com/XQezyHgi8q

But some saw the funny side given Deeney's past criticism of Arsenal lacking "cojones".

It’s wrong, but it does wind up the Gooners more!

Meanwhile others questioned whether it was a PR masterstroke or a dig at Watford.
