One penalty was thunderous, the other finessed, but it ensured this top six tussle ended with honours even.
Watford’s Troy Deeney was leaving absolutely nothing to chance with his spot-kick, awarded when Brentford defender Ethan Pinnock was adjudged pretty harshly to have brought down Ismaila Sarr in the box as their arms tangled and was shown a red card into the bargain. To compound matters, it appeared Sarr was offside as he raced through.
Deeney hammered the ball straight down the middle, almost through Brentford keeper David Raya who might have hurt himself had it hit him.
