WATFORD: Watford twice came from behind to draw with visiting Bournemouth 2-2 in the English Premier League on Saturday. Both teams remained in the bottom half of the standings. For the opening goal, Callum Wilson's downward header bounced under goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes. Troy Deeney equalized with a setup from winger Nordin Amrabat. Bournemouth went back in front thanks to Josh King, who was substituted in for Jordan Ibe, and hit in a speculator shot that glanced off Younes Kaboul. But Watford ensured coach Walter Mazzarri's 55th birthday wasn't a downer, when Isaac Success leveled three minutes later with his first goal since his club-record signing from Granada. He met Jose Holebas' free kick at the far post and headed in.
