Watford played out a 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough in Monday’s English Championship duel, with Ismaila Sarr and Yannick Bolasie both finding the net.
Boasting victories in their last six encounters, the Hornets travelled to the Riverside Stadium with the aspiration of extending their winning streak. Albeit, the hosts had another idea in the keenly contested affair.
After a cagey opening, Middlesbrough suffered a slight setback following the substitution of injured Sam Morsy.
The Egyptian midfielder was forced off the pitch on the half-hour mark following a tackle from Nathaniel Chalobah. He was subsequently replaced by Hayden Coulson.
