The Hammers dominated large parts of the game but their poor finishing in front of goal so nearly cost them all dearly when Watford took the lead on 64 minutes with a goal from Sean Murray.
Substitute Ricardo Vaz Te scored with only minutes of normal time left to give the Hammers a 1-1 draw. A lengthy period of sustained pressure in injury time ensued but the Hammers could not find the second goal and are left disappointed when they should so easily have been celebrating another three points.
