Watford lose nerve and two points

Watford 3 Fulham 3

Goals from Marlon King and Ashley Young had Watford cruising to their first Premiership win of the season, but they could not hang on and allowed Fulham to score three goals in 15 minutes through substitute Brian McBride, Heidar Helguson and a shocking own-goal from Damien Francis.

Young’s second goal in the 89th minute meant Watford rescued a point, but manager Adrian Boothroyd will have been concerned by the lack of steel his team showed late on.
