STARS IN EUROPE - NIGERIA - CLUB - Isaac Success secures point for Watford

Watford FC Isaac Success

 

PREMIER LEAGUE
Watford vs Bournemouth 2:2

Substitute Isaac Success secured a point for Watford as they twice came from behind in a Vicarage Road thriller against Bournemouth.

Callum Wilson headed the Cherries ahead from Junior Stanislas' deflected cross before Artur Boruc's double save denied Watford's Nordin Amrabat.

Watford levelled through captain Troy Deeney's 99th goal for the club just after the break, a close-range finish after fine work by Morocco international Amrabat.

Substitute Joshua King restored Bournemouth's lead with a long-range deflected effort 44 seconds after coming on before Success equalised with a header following Jose Holebas' free-kick.

Incredibly, Bournemouth hit the woodwork three times in the second half. 

Jack Wilshire was twice denied by the post while Stanislas's free-kick rattled the bar late on.
