Troy Deeney recalls the moment Watford took on Arsenal in the FA Cup earlier this season without realising who was playing in goal!

Troy Deeney has told Soccer AM about a teamsheet mishap before Watford's FA Cup quarter-final with Arsenal.

Costel Pantilimon - or 'Panty' as he is known in the dressing room - was supposed to start in goal but an error saw regular starter Heurelho Gomes announced in the stadium during the warm-up. 

But the former Sunderland stopper eventually took his place between the sticks as the Hornets won 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium.
