After good performances over 2012-13 Championship season, Watford and Leicester City reached the play-offs and faced offin pusuit of a place in the Final at Wembley against Crystal Palace. No Watford fan could have guessed how dramatic this tie's climax would be.
As the game drifted into injury-time in the second leg, the aggregate was all in-square at 2-2-Watford leading 2-1 on the day after Leicester had won the first leg. Leicester were than awarded a contenious penalty which would have won them the game had Antony Knockaert scored. Instead Watford keeper Manuel Almunia made a brilliant double save to deny him.
In the confusion that followed, Watford broke immediately up the field and with Leicester struggling to get man back, Jonathan Hogg's knock-down was finished by Troy Deeney to instead give Watford the 3-2 aggregate victory and passage to the final.
