Hull vs Everton
Yellow Card: Jose Holebas. Watford have now conceded more fouls than any other team in the Premier League this season.
56mins: Watford are showing far more intent going forward but the home side continue to lack the necessary cutting edge to break Palace down. The Eagles look far more organised already under Allardyce.
59mins: Big chance for Watford! A hopeful long ball forward is chased down by Ighalo but the Nigarian fails to capitalise on his clear sight of goal and skews his effort just wide.
62mins: Scary moment for Palace at the back. Holebas' corner is missed by Benteke at the front post and, as a result, his delivery goes across the face of the Eagles box. Luckily for the away side it evaded every Watford player.
66mins: Another half chance for Watford. Holebas' long free-kick finds Prodl who directs his header towards Deeney at the near post but the forward couldn't evade his marker to equalise.
68mins: Watford's luck in goal doesn't look like changing any time soon. Deeney has been more of nuisance to the Palace back four and this time his flick-on finds Zuniga who blazes his effort over the bar.
71mins: Deeney pulls Watford level with his 100th goal for the club. Damien Delaney hauls down Prodl in the area and Mark Clattenburg makes in hesitation in pointing to the spot. Deeney showed nerves of steel to smash his penalty past Hennessey.
