Sheffield Wednesday continued to erode their deficit at the foot of the Championship by picking up a point in a goalless draw against Watford.
Tom Lees came closest to breaking the deadlock at Hillsborough with a header that clipped the post but Josh Windass and Dominic Iorfa also spurned presentable opportunities for the Owls.
The draw means Wednesday, who began the season with a 12-point deduction for breaching financial rules, have narrowed that gap to eight points after winning at Cardiff on the opening day.
Watford came on strong in the final half hour but Owls keeper Cameron Dawson made a pair of fine low saves to thwart Stipe Perica and Tom Cleverley.
