Paul Merson reflects on the 2-2 draw between Watford and Bournemouth

Paul Merson gives his verdict on Watford's draw with Bournemouth in Match In A Minute.

The Hornets twice came from behind at Vicarage Road to claim a 2-2 draw, though Arsenal loanee Jack Wilshere spurned a glorious opportunity to win it for the Cherries.

Callum Wilson's first-half strike was cancelled out by Troy Deeney, before Josh King restored the lead moments after coming off the substitutes' bench.

But the Hornets levelled for a second time through Isaac Success three minutes later.

"The pleasing thing for us is that Jack's getting in goalscoring positions," Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe said after the game.

"With his class and his quality there's no doubt he'll be scoring goals for this team in the future. His influence grew. And I think he's going to be a massive player for us."

But what did Merse think of his fellow Gunner's gaffe? And did he feel a draw was a fair result?
