    The points were shared in the East Midlands derby last night, with Nottingham Forest holding onto the Brian Clough Trophy.

    The Reds had gone in front at Pride Park through James Garner's first-half strike.

    But the Rams hit back with a late equaliser from Colin Kazim-Richards.

    Both clubs are now comfortably clear of danger at the bottom after Derby boss Wayne Rooney and Forest manager Chris Hughton worked some magic since taking charge.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Watford

    Watford respond to Bournemouth's spell of pressure with a stretch of possession of their own.

    It ends with Ismaila Sarr curling a shot over the Cherries bar from all of 30 yards out.

    Defences are on top at the moment, with both sides lacking creativity.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Watford

    Watford centre-back Craig Cathcart gets a talking-to from referee Tony Harrington for a challenge on Dominic Solanke on the left flank.

    The defender was climbing all over the Cherries striker, and was more of a rugby tackle.

    He's slightly fortunate to get away without a caution.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Watford

    Watford midfielder Will Hughes is teed up by Ismaila Sarr, but his side-footed effort goes well clear of the bar from over 25 yards out.

  8. YELLOW CARDpublished at 35 mins

    Bournemouth 0-0 Watford

    We've got a first booking too.

    Watford left-back Adam Masina is shown yellow for a late challenge on Adam Smith in the build-up to that Lloyd Kelly shot.

    The hosts are enjoying their best spell of the match so far.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Watford

    A first shot on target of the match!

    Bournemouth have a decent spell of pressure as they probe away at the Watford defence.

    Eventually they find Lloyd Kelly in space on the left and his half-volley is tipped over the bar by Hornets keeper Daniel Bachmann.

    The ball was rising but straight at him - a save you'd expect him to make.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Watford

    Bournemouth midfielder Ben Pearson is down and clutching his left ankle, but seems fine to continue.

    He slipped just before Joao Pedro had a shot blocked.

  11. KICK-OFFpublished at 13:01 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February 2021

    Crawley 0-0 Exeter

    There's an early kick-off in League Two.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Watford

    Another good ball in from Watford full-back Kiko Femenia.

    Striker Joao Pedro and Asmir Begovic contest for the ball and it looks like the Hornets man gets his head to it ahead of the keeper.

    It goes behind and the Brazilian wants a corner - but a goal-kick is awarded.

    Bournemouth need to cut off this supply of crosses into their box.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Watford

    Watford forward Ken Sema unleashes a volley from 15 yards out, but it goes well over the bar.

    The ball was dropping and it was worth a dig.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Watford

    Junior Stanislas cuts inside into the Watford area, but loses his balance and misses his kick from the corner of the six-yard box.

    A bit of a let-off for the visitors there.

    There was some good play from Dominic Solanke to set the winger running towards goal.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Watford

    The Cherries just about deal with another cross into their box from the right wing.

    It's headed away to the edge of the area, but the ball won't drop for the Watford players who was looking to pick up the pieces and shoot at goal.

    Bournemouth manage to get a foot on the ball and work it forward well.

    Lloyd Kelly advances and finds Junior Stanislas, as the Hornets defence suddenly opens up.

    The forward shoots at goal but his effort is blocked behind by Francisco Sierralta.

    The resulting corner drops to Jefferson Lerma, but the Cherries midfielder can't react quickly enough.
