Watford were forced to settle for a point after an entertaining encounter with West Bromwich Albion ended in a 2-2 draw at a soaking Vicarage Road tonight.
The Hornets had more of the chances to win it thereafter and particularly Ismael Kone. He wasted a clear opening in the first half, before he saw a second-half header kept out by a wonderful reaction stop from Alex Palmer. Within three minutes though, the visitors found themselves chasing the game as the Hornets got off to the perfect start with a lovely goal.
The reprieve for the Hornets was shortlived as Swift hit the free-kick with power, beating the static Bachmann in the centre of his goal to equalise.Francisco Sierralta found James Morris with his back to goal, but he was closed down and dispossessed by Darnell Furlong who played a one-two and received the ball back before crossing from the right and Wallace got across his man to prod a right-footed finish inside Bachmann’s far post to make it 2-1.
Martins demonstrated his shooting prowess again in the 33rd minute, letting fly from 25 yards with a well-struck effort that wasn’t too far wide of the top corner of Palmer’s near post. The Hornets emerged for the second half a couple of minutes before their opponents, suggesting Ismael’s half-time message may have been short and sharp.
The Baggies also took off their first goalscorer Swift, along with Molumby and Matt Phillips, with Alex Mowatt, Conor Townsend and Jeremy Sarmiento coming on. Bachmann made a routine save from a Furlong header following a Sarimento cross, but it was Watford who were continuing to look the more threatening as Palmer again did well to keep out a Lewis shot through legs before also dealing with Kone’s follow up.
