Watford boss Marco Silva admitted that his side had a "bad afternoon" as they were thrashed 6-0 by Manchester City but the Portuguese also took the opportunity to express his disappointment with what he felt were some poor decisions by match officials.
Watford had started the season in fine form but were brought back down to earth with a bang as Pep Guardiola's side hit them for six on Saturday.
After the game Silva insisted that poor officiating contributed to his side's defeat, claiming that two of City's goals were offside and claiming that his side should have been awarded a penalty for Kyle Walker's challenge on Nathaniel Chalobah.
Speaking following the game Silva said: "I think the first goal was offside, the second goal we made a big mistake and maybe the third goal is offside too; this is the truth.
"We had one clear penalty. I'm sure it wouldn't change the result, but would give more confidence in this moment. In the similar moments, they decide one moment for one side and not the same for the other side.
"It is a bad afternoon for us. Before the match we knew it was a tough day and a tough match."
Though the Portuguese did admit that City were worthy winners, saying: "Congratulations to City, they deserved the three points. It's clear we made some mistakes. I need to analyse what City created, they started the game very strongly.
"We learn everyday. It is a good match for our team to learn. We only lost three points. The score is heavy but this is football.
"In City's last two games they scored nine goals, against Liverpool and then in the Champions League. We prepared to not concede but when you see the offsides, the penalties, it is not easy.
"We will rest tomorrow and on Monday the players come again to work hard. They need to look forward and prepare well for the next match."
