Watford boss Rob Edwards left 'frustrated' as Sunderland twice come from behind to claim a point

'Frustrated' Watford boss Rob Edwards tried to pick out the positives after Sunderland twice came from behind to take a point away from Vicarage Road. The Hornets went in front ten minutes before half-time through Keinan Davis, before Aji Alese levelled for the Black Cats on the stroke of half-time.

An own-goal from ex-Watford man Luke O'Nien just after the hour gave the hosts the initiative again, but substitute Jewison Bennette scored his first goal in English football to equalise a couple of minutes from full-time. It meant that Watford have now won just one of their last seven Championship games, however Edwards felt there was an improvement in performance following his side's 2-0 midweek defeat at Blackburn Rovers.

He said: "When we were 2-1 up we almost go into protect mode a little bit, and this is where we need to improve now. For a 20-minute spell after half time I saw a team that I want to see all the time, there were a lot of positives.
