Newcastle scored a deserved equaliser minutes before half time. As a Watford corner is cleared, Joelinton does really well to resist the press from Cleverley and Cathcart, turn inside and find Schär in space who advances up the field on the counter.

Passing it to Atsu, the Swiss international continues his run into the box (the second such instance of the half where Fabian stayed up top after dribbling forward), Atsu did well to escape the attentions of 2 Watford players, laying it to Joelinton who again turned and found Krafth out wide.

The cross was decent, finding Hayden who was sandwiched between 2 Watford shirts as the ball deflected off his arm. The loose ball found Schär who tucked away quite a difficult left footed finish, Foster not able to get a strong enough hand to it to keep it out.
