    Bournemouth 2-2 Watford

    And that's your lot. A thoroughly entertaining game, the second 2-2 draw of the season between these sides but you feel neither will be satisfied.

    Bournemouth have now just won one game in seven.

    Watford have now gone seven Premier League games without a win.

  2. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 90+4 mins

    Bournemouth 2-2 Watford

    It's in from Charlie Daniels! But Lee Mason spots a handball from Steve Cook in the build-up to take the ball out of Gomes' hands.

    The hosts should have no complaints about that one, pretty blatant from Cook.

    Four minutes of added time. Jordon Ibe tricking his way down the right and finding Callum Wilson with the cross but he heads wide.

  5. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 89 mins

    Bournemouth 2-2 Watford

    An attacking change for the visitors now as Odion Ighalo comes on for Abdoulaye Doucoure. Is there a winner here? Not long of normal time to go.

    Benik Afobe

    Crucial goal for Eddie Howe and Bournemouth.

    Christian Kabasele is down injured for Watford but the Cherries play on, Andrew Surman threads a brilliant ball through for Benik Afobe to run on to and the substitute makes no mistake, tucking it into the bottom corner.

    Watford will protest about the player down, but it wasn't a head injury and the hosts were within their rights to play on.

    Bournemouth 1-2 Watford

    It's just not quite happening for the hosts, this time Kaboul standing strong to stop the ball reaching a well-placed Benik Afobe.

    Kitchen sink time for the Cherries, they have to throw everything at this one.

  10. YELLOW CARDpublished at 79 mins

    Bournemouth 1-2 Watford

    Younes Kaboul tries too hard to delay the game though as he boots the ball away in the corner and he's shown a yellow card by Lee Mason for time wasting.

    Watford don't look too flustered out there at the moment. They're happy to shepherd this win to the final whistle.

  12. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 75 mins

    Bournemouth 1-2 Watford

    Double substitution for the hosts - Joshua King is replaced by Benik Afobe and Jordon Ibe is on for Junior Stanislas.

    Two attacking replacements - can they make the difference?

    Bournemouth 1-2 Watford

    Moving towards the final 15 minutes of this game - any way back into it for Bournemouth?

    Plenty of possession and nice ideas as Steve Cook curves the ball across the box but no-one is one the end of it again.

    Bournemouth 1-2 Watford

    Desperation from Joshua King as his shot from long-range is so off target it goes out for a throw.

  15. YELLOW CARDpublished at 70 mins

    Bournemouth 1-2 Watford

    Jose Holebas goes into the book - his 10th caution of the season.

    He'll now miss the FA Cup tie with Millwall and a Premier League game against Arsenal.

    Bournemouth 1-2 Watford

    You feel for Tyrone Mings out there, any time Watford apply some pressure, the centre back seems to cede possession or give away a corner.

    Bournemouth 1-2 Watford

    When Barack Obama was inaugurated as US President in 2009, Bournemouth were 23rd in League Two.

    They started today 11th in the Premier League.

    The Cherries have come a long way but need to come back from a goal down again in this game.

    Troy Deeney

    Bournemouth. Defending. Yikes.

    It's another corner, curled right under the nose of Artur Boruc but despite the attentions of the goalkeeper and three Cherries defenders, it's Troy Deeney who gets the decisive touch, his glancing header finding the net.

    Nice finish. Dire defending.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 62 mins

    Bournemouth 1-1 Watford

    Daryl Janmaat enters the fray for the first time since picking up a groin injury on Boxing Day.

    Striker Stefano Okaka is the man to come off. A shift in formation for the visitors - Janmaat goes to the right side of midfield.

    Bournemouth 1-1 Watford

    Another decent potential opening for Bournemouth as Joshua King is slipped in but Watford get two men across in time to squeeze the ball out for a throw.

    Fraser is almost in shortly after but Younes Kaboul is alert and Daniels' cross is fired well over.
