Wolves 1 Watford 1: match report First, Abdi was thwarted by Carl Ikeme after cutting in from the right before Matej Vidra's shot was deflected wide following more hesitancy in the Wolves defence. It took heroics in the 19th minute from Jonathan Bond, making his full debut for Watford, to deny Saunders" side the lead, however. First the goalkeeper, in for the injured Manuel Almunia, did well to react to Kevin Doyle's stinging first-time shot. Yet his save to repel the rebound from Bjorn Sigurdarson was even better. Wolves fell behind as a consequence of Karl Henry's foul on Vydra on the edge of the area. Abdi converted a sublime set-piece four minutes before the interval. It was Beckham-esque in its execution, skilfully whipped over the wall before curling away from the outstretched Ikeme into the top left corner. Wolves were soon let off the hook after the break when the unmarked Ikechi Anya fluffed his lines from close range. By now, the game had swung back in Watford's favour and Cristian Battocchio came a whisker away from a second with a 25-yard rocket. There were ironic cheers for both Stephen Hunt and Henry when they were substituted as Wolves fans made their feelings known. Saunders" men looked to have blown it when Jack Robinson missed a sitter late on but Sako had the final say with a low shot through a crowded area following Matt Doherty's long throw.
