The direction of the force applied by the water on the hose

[nihan]

Water is flowing inside a garden hose. The hose is bent at some point, i.e., it has the shape of L. What is the direction of the force applied by the water on the hose around the bend? (Let's say that one of the arms of the L goes along +x direction and the other arm goes along the +y direction. In which direction is the force?)
