The hosts took the lead with the game's first chance as the in-form Benik Afobe produced some clever movement before finishing into the bottom-left corner.

Watford were slow moving the ball forward, leaving Adlene Guedioura to try to test Tomasz Kuszczak from distance, with the keeper saving comfortably in the middle of the goal.

The away side managed to restore parity in the 30th minute, however, when Matej Vydra produced a delicate touch before drilling an emphatic finish under the despairing body of Kuszczak to make it 1-1.

Wanderers might have gone into the break with a lead, but both Afobe and James Henry were wasteful from close range, while Vydra also had a good shot saved for Watford in an end-to-end opening 45 minutes.
