Welcome back to the Premier League, Roy. When you consider that Burnley and Watford have scored 39 goals in 40 league games between them this season, maybe there was only ever going to be one outcome here. In truth, the biggest winners on a blustery night in Lancashire were Newcastle and Norwich, who watched their two main relegation rivals huff and puff their way to an uninspiring draw.
Watford have turned to Hodgson to try to keep them in the league while Burnley’s big January move was the arrival of Wout Weghorst. That gave supporters of these sides cause for tentative optimism that they could claim the win that would have moved them out of the bottom three. By the end, though, there was almost a sense of relief the points were shared on a night where the issues they possess were laid bare.
