LONDON (Reuters) - Watford manager Javi Gracia was pleased with his team in the early stages of their 6-0 drubbing by Manchester City in the FA Cup final on Saturday and was left to rue a missed chance by Roberto Pereyra when the game was scoreless. Manchester City capitalised in typically ruthless fashion, equalling the biggest ever victory in the FA Cup final to complete an unprecedented treble of domestic trophies. Pereyra broke clear in the 11th minute but Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson blocked his shot with his legs. "I know at the moment it is difficult to accept this defeat but we are a team and today we suffer together," Gracia said. "I think Heurelho played very good in the FA Cup and he deserved to play today," said Gracia who led Watford to a respectable 11th place in the league this season.
