Victor Valdes impresses as Middlesbrough grab a point at Watford

Middlesbrough were lucky to come away with a point and a clean sheet after Saturday's underwhelming display at Vicarage Road. Not one for the history books, it was a nervy affair; in the first half, neither team wanted to break rank and put themselves on the line in an attempt to win the game.

Watford came to the fore in a more watchable second period but the Teessiders counted their blessings as the Hornets were denied by the post and were unable to make their attacks count.

Positives

Both sets of fans paid their respects to the late Graham Taylor in a moving tribute, even if the action on the pitch was not as memorable.
