Watford score in injury time to draw at West Brom

Richarlison scored an injury-time equaliser as Watford came from two goals down to save a point at West Bromwich Albion.

The Baggies scored twice in three first-half minutes through Salomon Rondon and Jonny Evans, before Abdoulaye Doucoure reduced the deficit before the break.

The hosts looked set to record a first Premier League win since 19 August when Brazil Under-20 international Richarlison connected with a Jose Holebas free-kick deep into added time to deny the hosts.

The result means Watford maintain their unbeaten record on the road this season.

The Hornets dominated possession throughout and started the match stronger, but the first two clear-cut opportunities went to West Brom, who took them both.

First Rondon shrugged off Christian Kabasele before finishing past Heurelho Gomes from an acute angle.

Evans doubled the lead after Matt Phillips' whipped corner came off the top of Doucoure's head straight into the path of the Northern Irishman.

Doucoure made amends before half-time, finishing a neat passing move involving Troy Deeney and Richarlison, who was finally rewarded for being a threat when he netted in the 94th minute.

Marco Silva's side move up to fifth, while West Brom climb to 10th.
'We kept believing' - what they said
Watford midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure: "You could see with Jose Holebas he was tackling five minutes before and then got the assist. We kept believing until the end and that's what you get.

"We have to be thankful for the fans because they're always behind us."
Injured Watford and England midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah tweeted:

What's next?

After the international break, Watford host Arsenal on Saturday, 14 October (17:30 BST), while West Brom travel to Leicester City on Monday, 16 October (20:00 BST).
