Description

Will Hughes' early goal helped Watford secure their first Premier League point of the season with a battling draw at Newcastle.

The Hornets stay bottom of the table but a spirited performance at St James' Park ended a run of three consecutive defeats at the start of the new campaign.

In a game of few clear-cut chances, Hughes steered the opening goal into the bottom left corner from 10 yards after just 78 seconds following a deflected Tom Cleverley shot.

Defender Fabian Schar equalised four minutes before the break, guiding a 10-yard left-foot shot past Ben Foster after the ball fell into his path from Isaac Hayden's knockdown.

The point lifts Steve Bruce's Newcastle up to 14th in the table going into the international break.
