The red card was 'a guess' - Cleverley

Watford were beaten by Portsmouth on Monday afternoon

Watford boss Tom Cleverley has said the red card given to Kevin Keben at their game against Portsmouth on Monday "was a complete guess."

The Hornet's lost by one first half goal to the Blues and have now lost their last three matches.

In the game, Keben was shown the red by referee Sam Allison for bringing down Josh Murphy just outside the area, but Cleverley felt his man made a decent enough challenge.

"The sending off was a complete guess from the referee." He told BBC Three Counties Radio.

"This level of football when you make a big decision you have to get it right, Kevin (Keben) gets the ball and it's a really disappointing decision.

"We seem to be suffering a lot of red cards and in a hostile environment here I think he has sided with the home side.

"We must play well in our last two games to finish the season well, it's been a really tough period.

"I don't think there is enough consequences at this club for not doing your job at times, some people deserved to come off today, I'll be much more demanding in the next two weeks for sure."
