Goal
Remi Garde it was "painful" watching hisAston Villa side go down 3-2 to Watford with help from Alan Hutton's "silly" own-goal.
Apart from the defender's blunder, Garde said his team played well and deserved more after Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney inflicted a defeat that leaves the Villans seven points off safety after just 14 games.
Micah Richards hit his first Villa goal to equalise before half time and Jordan Ayew gave the hosts hope with an excellent late strike, but they were not enough for Villa to earn their first win under their French boss, who labelled Hutton's own goal "silly".
"It was painful for my players to play this game, to have this result, because I think maybe we deserved a better result," Garde said after the match.
"The way we played this game, I was quite pleased with the way we attacked, the way we played the first half.
"But then we had a lack of efficiency in the offensive box and also in the defensive box."
Garde conceded that Villa defended poorly for the opening goal, which he described as "difficult to digest" due to his players missing several chances to clear before Ighalo prodded home his eighth Premier League goal of the season, although he declined to apportion blame to individuals.
