Watford extended their unbeaten run to four games but will look back on this afternoon’s pulsating 2-2 draw with Millwall as an opportunity missed, even though they needed an injury-time equaliser to salvage a point.
The Hornets had made the early breakthrough in the first half when Yaser Asprilla blocked Jake Cooper’s attempted clearance back into the net after goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski had spilt an Edo Kayembe shot. With Vakoun Bayo impressing with his effort and line leading in the hour he was on the pitch, Kayembe and Ismael Kone catching the eye in midfield, augmented by good attacking performances from full-backs Jeremy Ngakia and Jamal Lewis the Hornets were able to ask more of the questions, but they were unable to get their noses in front for a second time.
In came Danny McNamara, Murray Wallace, George Saville and George Honeyman, with Billy Mitchell, Ryan Longman and Aidome Emakhu dropping to the bench, while Joe Bryan was not involved. The pace and trickery of Asprilla saw him on the receiving end of some of the physical stuff, first literally hounded off the ball by a pack of Lions after a neat flick on halfway had led him to going on a solo counter-attack, before he was barged into the hoardings by Honeyman.
Jake Livermore levelled up the card count four minutes later for dissent, but it quickly moved back into Millwall’s ‘favour’ when Saville was booked for bringing down Kone from behind. Asprilla received the fourth yellow card of the afternoon in the 50th minute for pulling back Saville, but Watford were continuing where they left off in the first half by taking the game to their opponents.
The Lions hadn’t shown much from an attacking perspective in the second half, but they did manage an attempt when Flemming fired a left-footed shot over from 20 yards. Referee Keith Stroud’s sometimes strange decision making struck again in the 80th minute when he decided to book Sema for time wasting as he was preparing to take a corner.
