Eddie Howe was full of praise for “razor-sharp” Jermain Defoe after the veteran striker came off the bench to score a stoppage-time equaliser for Bournemouth. Roberto Pereyra’s strike early in the second half looked as though it would be enough to secure victory for Watford but Defoe struck late on. Kiko Femenía had put Javi Gracia’s side ahead only for Bournemouth to equalise before half-time through Joshua King’s penalty. Pereyra put Watford back in front shortly after the interval but Defoe turned home Nathan Aké’s flick-on in the closing stages to rescue a point for the Cherries. “It was a massive goal from Jermain and a massive point for us,” he said.
