Watford goalkeeper Manuel Almunia was ready to book his summer holidays when Leicester were awarded their stoppage-time penalty in Sunday's extraordinary play-off semi-final.

Midfielder Almen Abdi is confident the Hornets can finish the job and secure promotion back to the Barclays Premier League. The 26-year-old Switzerland international said: "We have played great football this season but yesterday we showed outstanding character as well. It was an amazing feeling. "Our confidence is very high now after winning a game like that. If we play our football, I think we are going to win this final."
