Key points

  • Middlesbrough win 2-1 thanks to a goal on 77 minutes when Scott McDonald cut across the area and found the bottom corner with a low drive.
  • The Hornets spent the whole of the second half with ten men for the second game in a row after referee Steve Rushton believed Matej Vydra stamped on Nicky Bailey just before the break.
  • Watford had taken the lead after 28 seconds when Matej Vydra intercepted Andre Bikey's backpass and whilst his effort was saved, Troy Deeney scored in the empty net.
  • Middlesbrough were on the back foot for most of the opening half hour but equalised when Bikey won the initial header at a corner and Marvin Emnes applied the finish from close range.
  • Alex Geijo came off the bench for his Watford debut
