Watford came from behind twice to draw 2-2 with Bournemouth at Vicarage Road on Saturday.

The Cherries took the lead through Callum Wilson after 31 minutes, and held on to their lead until half-time.

Captain Troy Deeney then brought the Hornets level five minutes into the second half, but Eddie Howe’s team went back in front just after the hour mark when Josh King found the net.

However, they only remained in front for another three minutes, with substitute Isaac Success scoring his first goal in English football to make it 2-2.

The Nigerian had only been on the pitch for seven minutes when he got his goal, replacing the out-of-form Odion Ighalo, who has been criticised by many Watford fans for his less than impressive performances.

The result keeps Watford in the bottom half in 11th with eight points, ahead of their opponents Bournemouth on goal difference. It has been an indifferent start to the season for Walter Mazzarri, and the Italian needs to find some consistency if they are going to be safe this season.

Having seen their side fall behind twice before rescuing a point, Watford fans have taken to Twitter to react to the impact Success had coming off the bench.
