Ryan Porteous grabs Watford goal as ex-Hibs star told he can be 'really pleased and proud'

Ryan Porteous has been told he can be really pleased and proud of his display against Sunderland by his Watford boss.

The former Hibs star headed home for the visitors as they suffered from a last gasp leveller from a brilliant Patrick Roberts strike to share the spoils in a stunning game at the Stadium of Light. Chris Wilder's men held a two goal advantage with Christian Kabasele scoring the opener after just 17 minutes before Scotland international Porteous doubled their advantage. But just one minute later Luke O'Nien gave the home fans something to cheer and hope with 20 minutes of the match still to play.

Then it was a piece of magic from former Celtic star and fans' favourite Roberts that denied the Hornets all three points as he kept his own side in the play-off mixer. The wild celebrations also made it to the touchline with Tony Mowbray suffering a HAMSTRING injury.
