More like horrific.In the 24th minute of the 0-0 draw at Vicarage Road, Knockaert was running down the right wing for the visitors. But he was brutally stopped in his tracks by a lunging 'tackle' by Britos that caught the Frenchman on his knee.

Days afterwards, the Watford man issued an apology.

"I would like to publicly apologise for my red card on Saturday," he told the club's website.

"It was not my intention to hurt the Brighton player, and I am happy he was okay and able to carry on playing the match.

"My timing was wrong but there are no excuses and I was very sad when I was in the dressing room.

"I know I let the coach, my teammates, the fans and everyone down and for this I am very sorry.

"I have experienced the highs and lows in the two matches at Vicarage Road this season and this is football.

"I have seen the statistics about my red cards and I am not happy about this, this is not how I want my career to be talked about.

"I accept my punishment and I know it will be a few weeks before I can be available to play again, but I will be working hard in training so that, if selected, I am ready to help the team."
