A curious game in which Watford failed to capitalise on an excellent start. West Ham United controlled possession for large parts of the game without creating many clear-cut chances, despite Michail Antonio threatening throughout. Ultimately the hosts will be happy with a draw.
Positives
Watford began brightly and could have been two goals up had M'Baye Niang's fierce drive been just a few inches lower and Mauro Zarate was effective until a bad injury saw him replaced. The Hornets had to battle hard against an increasingly dominant West Ham side and they did well to secure a point.
