BBC: Zan Vipotnik’s late header saw Swansea City fight back to draw with Watford after teenager Nestory Irankunda’s sparkling free-kick had looked set to end the Hornets’ long wait for an away win.

Sky: Watford had only found the net three times in their previous seven league trips – the previous six of those being defeats – but they went ahead 10 minutes before the break and it came from a moment of magic from Irankunda.

Fran’s Watford Blog: It had been an enjoyable game. Watford had been excellent in the first half. Kjerrumgaard had a couple of decent chances and the goal from Irankunda was a thing of beauty. What a joy that we were behind the goal to see it fly into the top corner. Swansea made a much better fist of the second half, so a draw was probably a fair result, but an away point should always be treasured. The greatest concern of the afternoon was how apparent it was that we were lacking strength in depth. The first XI were excellent, but the replacements were generally not of the same quality.

From the Rookery End: As the Hornets made their second away trip of the season, this time down to south Wales to face Swansea City, the team behind the microphones was split in two. Mike, Kieran, and Ryan braved the long journey down the M4, while Jon, Jordi, Olly, and DCW opted for the considerably shorter — and far more sociable — trip to the Railway Arms opposite Bushey station.
