Half-Time Report: Chris McCann, Troy Deeney score at Vicarage Road in busy first half

Chris McCann heads an equaliser as Wigan Athletic frustrate Watford at Vicarage Road.

Chris McCann's equaliser on the stroke of half time has sent Wigan Athletic level with Watford at the break.

Watford made a fast start and took the lead when Ikechi Anya headed the ball across goal and Troy Deeney found the far corner from a tight angle.

Wigan went close early in the match through Roger Espinoza, who spotted Gomes off his line from distance but hit the side-netting.

Anya was proving to be a menace down the left-hand side and he almost set up a second for Deeney but his two crosses were scrambled away by the Wigan defence, before another pull-back just evaded Gianni Munari.

Leon Barnett had a good chance for the visitors but his header flew straight at the keeper, while James McClean forced Gomes into a smart save at his near post.

The visitors' pressure paid off when McCann headed in McClean's corner.
