'We're so hungry for the Champions League - it is two points dropped': James Maddison laments Watford's late equaliser against Leicester in return to Premier League action

James Maddison has expressed mixed feelings after Leicester conceded a stoppage-time leveller during their 1-1 draw away to relegation-threatened Watford.

Both teams showed signs of rustiness at Vicarage Road as they played for the first time after the long sporting lockdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic, and manufactured crowd noise and empty stands created an eerie atmosphere.

Ben Chilwell eventually opened the scoring on 90 minutes, firing an unstoppable shot into the top corner with Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster rooted to the spot.

The Hornets grabbed a valuable point three minutes later Craig Dawson scored an overhead kick from close range, moving them further away from the drop zone.
