Watford Under-21s took a 2-0 lead against Bristol City at Ashton Gate, but the hosts finished with a deserved point after bossing the second half.
Watford Under-21s got a taste of the medicine they have been dishing out lately as they saw a 2-0 lead turn into a 2-2 draw away at Bristol City.
The game was watched by their Under-21 manager Ali Hines, who has stepped up to be interim assistant manager following the departure of Nigel Pearson.Get a year of unlimited WFC story access for only 60p a week At the other end Stefan Bajic made a save from a free-kick before Michael Adu-Poku saw an effort blocked after he had intercepted a clearance from the keeper.
It was 2-0 just two minutes later as Watkiss turned provider, slotting a ball through for James Collins to score at the second attempt after seeing Bajic save his initial effort. City levelled only six minutes after the restart courtesy of a diving header from Backwell to convert a cross from Nelson. Ephraim Yeboah then shot over the top before Australian youth international Francois fired an effort straight at Macaulay.
