Andre Gray hails 'crazy' FA Cup comeback against boyhood club Wolves
Wolverhampton-born Watford striker Andre Gray has hailed his side's 'crazy' comeback against Wolves - admitting that everyone will have wrote the Hornets off during the game.
Wolves were 2-0 up with less than 15 minutes remaining, before Gerard Deulofeu halved the deficit ahead of Troy Deeney's late penalty - forcing the game into extra time.
Deulofeu went on to score the winning goal, topping off one of the greatest FA Cup comebacks in recent history.
When asked about the comeback, Gray admitted that it's a moment he would find hard to forget.
"Crazy," striker Gray told Press Association Sport after the match. "That's why we love the game."
"I think 65 minutes, we're 2-0 down and you're thinking 'Jesus, how has this happened?' Two set-pieces, which we're usually good at defending.
"But I think we just had to grind it out.
"We never give up and I think that showed, and we just had to play rough and just do the simple things and play dirty.
"And it managed to pay off in the end.
"The way we did it as well: the extra-time, the drama of it, fighting until the end, holding on, waiting for the ref to blow the whistle.
"It all makes it that little more sweeter."
Watford now face the daunting prospect of facing Manchester City in the final, but Gray is hopeful that having pulled off the memorable comeback against Wolves - they can spur themselves on to cause an upset.
"It's so hard to come back from 2-0 down, it's so difficult, especially against a team like Wolves." he said.
"We just showed that spirit we've got. I think if you've seen the scenes in the changing room after, it's incredible.
"Everyone would have wrote us off today after 65 minutes but look what happened.
"It's going to be a special day and, like I said, anything can happen."
