TROY DEENEY brilliantly trolled Manchester City’s fans as he looks to rile up the Citizens ahead of the FA Cup final on May 18.
The Watford striker was influential in the Hornets reaching the final as he netted a dramatic 94th minute penalty against Wolves to send the game into extra-time.

Substitute Gerard Deulofeu turned the game on its head, first netting an exquisite curling effort to halve Wolves’ lead to 2-1, before Deeney stepped up to smash his spot-kick beyond John Ruddy.
The former Barcelona winger then slotted home in the 104th minute to send the Hornets into their first FA Cup final since 1984.
Talking to BT Sport after the match, Deeney joked that the atmosphere created at Wembley dwarfed the noise from yesterday’s clash between City and Brighton.
He said: “This team has something special. It’s hard work and desire. We kept going.
“The little man (Deulofeu), he added magic. It was a cracking atmosphere, much better than yesterday.”
Speaking on his penalty, Deeney – who won the spot-kick after being fouled by Leander Dendoncker – added: “We needed just one decent cross.
“I was waiting for it all day. I’ll be honest, I have hit it as hard as I could.
“I calmed myself down and put myself in training mood.”
While the 30-year-old also quipped: “If anyone’s watching, I’d like a new deal, thank you.”
