Benik Afobe climbed off the bench to snatch a point for Bournemouth against Watford but felt they should have had all three.

The striker grabbed an 82nd-minute equaliser as the Cherries twice came from behind to earn a 2-2 draw.

He was given a helping hand by Hornets defender Christian Kabasele, who dropped to the ground with apparent cramp to leave a gaping hole in Watford's defence as Bournemouth came forward.

Andrew Surman found the gap and Afobe raced onto his pass before firing across Heurelho Gomes and into the net.

"I saw Surman get the ball and he looked for me, looking for the run and it was quite straightforward," he said.

"When I was through on goal I focused on being composed and finding the bottom corner, and once it hit the back of the net it was a good feeling.

"At the time we thought we could go on and get the winner, if there were 10 or 15 minutes more we probably could have. We're disappointed with a draw to be honest."
