First-half goals from Glenn Murray and Odion Ighalo have ensured that Bournemouth and Watford share a point in their Premier League clash on Saturday.
The hosts started the match positively, as Glenn Murray headed over the bar from a Matt Ritchie cross, before Marc Pugh tested Watford keeper Heurelho Gomes with a low shot after some neat build-up play.
The hosts took a deserved lead on 28 minutes, as Ritchie found Murray with a cross, before the striker headed past Gomes on his full debut for the Cherries.
Watford were gifted a goal just before half time as Cherries keeper Artur Boruc misplaced a pass straight to Odion Ighalo, who fired past the Polish international to level the scores.
After the break, Watford looked the more threatening of the sides, as Ben Watson struck the crossbar with a powerful volley, before Ikechi Anya forced a save from Boruc with a one-on-one opportunity.
Bournemouth came close to taking the lead as Murray headed wide from a Simon Francis cross, before Steve Cook forced a save from Gomes with an overhead kick.
The Cherries were awarded a penalty on 85 minutes when Etienne Capoue brought down Adam Smith in the box, but Murray’s spot kick attempt was saved by Gomes, who went the right way to prevent a late Bournemouth goal.
