Jewison Bennette came off the bench to score his first goal in English football as Sunderland earned a hard-fought point at Watford. The Costa Rica international fired home just a couple of minutes from time at Vicarage Road, as Sunderland climbed to fifth in the table going into the international break.
Watford's on-loan Aston Villa forward Keinan Davis had given the Hornets the lead ten minutes before half-time on what was his first Championship start for the club. But defender Aji Alese opened his account for Sunderland when he levelled just before the break, with goalline technology deciding his shot had crossed the line before it could be cleared.
Luke O'Nien then scored an unfortunate own-goal against the club where he began his career to put Watford back in front, before Bennette saved the day for Tony Mowbray's side. Ellis Simms missed out with the toe injury he suffered in the midweek win at Reading, forcing Mowbray into one change as he brought Elliot Embleton into the starting line-up.
