Watford 1-1 Newcastle: Ismaila Sarr punishes wasteful and winless Newcastle

Newcastle United's winless start to the Premier League campaign continues after Watford snatched a 1-1 draw in the second half at Vicarage Road.

Sean Longstaff gave Newcastle the lead, but Ismaila Sarr levelled for the improved hosts after the break.

VAR then denied Watford's Joshua King a late winner for offside, while substitute Jacob Murphy squandered a great chance in stoppage time for the visitors.

On a scrappy afternoon that saw seven yellow cards handed out, Australian referee Jarred Gillett made history as he became the first overseas official to take charge of a Premier League match.
