Amin Nabizada scored for the fourth consecutive Watford Under-21 match as the young Hornets drew 2-2 with Bournemouth at London Colney on Tuesday.

Nabizada equalised just before half-time, taking advantage as opposition defender Matai Akinmboni went down injured to fire into the roof of the net.

Jonny Day had earlier given the Cherries the lead in an entertaining first half, Jonathan Lawson also going close for Watford and Day threatening again for the visitors.

Ian Kamga put Adrian Mariappa's side in front after the break, heading in a corner, before Eugene Nyarko tapped in a quick leveller.

Watford keeper Roraigh Browne made a save from Michael Dacosta Gonzalez and Josh Mullins denied Nyarko with a big block.

The Hornets fielded 16-year-olds Tomiwa Akinyimika and Caden Lamothe during the second half, continuing a run of 11 unbeaten home matches.

Watford:  Browne, Eames, Hunt (Tomiwa Akinyimika 46), Mullins, Kamga, Georgiou, Smith, Sanghrajka (Tobi Akinyimika 68), Lawson, Asseidou (Smith-Daley 77), Nabizada (Lamothe HT).
