Decent chance! Eriksen is allowed far too much time and space on the edge of the penalty area and he fires a low shot towards the bottom right corner of the net. However, it flies just wide of the post. Foster is very unhappy with his defence, as Eriksen could have caused a lot of problems from there.

Poor header out from the back by Kabasele, as a long ball comes over the top of the Watford defence and the centre-back heads it out of play, despite being under no pressure at all from Brentford.
