Watford 2-2 Southampton: Abdoulaye Doucoure scores controversial late goal as Marco Silva's side battle back from two goals down to take a point

Abdoulaye Doucoure scored a controversial last gasp equaliser for Watford as they came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Southampton at Vicarage Road on Saturday.

The midfielder appeared to nudge the ball into the net with his hand as he followed up on Andre Gray's earlier goal to complete a stunning comeback for the Hornets in the second-half.

James Ward-Prowse opened the scoring with his first Premier League goal of the season after he finished off some wonderful work from Shane Long, calmly sweeping home past Heurelho Gomes.

The Saints then doubled their lead after a superb burst of pace down the left from Long saw him find Dusan Tadic in the box and he coolly rolled the ball into Ward-Prowse, who fired home for his second just before half-time.
