The ball fell in the path of Deeney, who scored the winning goal, sending Watford on to the final. The opportunity immediately followed a double-save by Watford goalkeeper Manuel Almunia on a penalty and follow-up by Leicester midfielder Anthony Knockaert, which, if converted, would have sent Leicester on instead of Watford. Hogg and Deeney celebrated the winner by leaping into the Graham Taylor stand at Vicarage Road, part of the ensuing celebratory pitch invasion at Watford's home ground.

Despite being a first-team regular at Watford, Hogg joined Huddersfield Town on a three-year contract on 29 July 2013, motivated by family reasons to request the transfer.{{cite web |url=http://www.watfordfc.com/news/article/130729-hogg-joins-huddersfield-952792.aspx |title=OFFICIAL: Hogg Goes to Town |access-date=29 July 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130801013644/http://www.watfordfc.com/news/article/130729-hogg-joins-huddersfield-952792.aspx |archive-date=1 August 2013 }} He made his debut for the Terriers in their 1–0 defeat to Nottingham Forest on 3 August.
