Michael Obafemi scored his first goal for Burnley in stoppage time to rescue a point for his side against Watford at Turf Moor.

Watford nullified Burnley until the very last moment, with Obafemi netting in a goalmouth scramble in added time.

It was Joao Pedro who had opened the scoring as Watford thought they had inflicted a shock defeat on the Championship leaders.

However, although Vincent Kompany's side were unable to achieve a club record 11th win in a row, they extended their unbeaten run.
