Scott Twine’s free-kick earned Bristol City a 1-1 draw at Watford.

Marc Bola netted his first Hornets goal to put the hosts ahead after just six minutes but Twine ensured injury-hit City avoided losing for a third time in six days by denying Watford a fifth straight home win.

Twine spurned a decent chance to give the Robins into a second-minute lead, firing wide from the edge of the box after Anis Mehmeti had sparked a swift counter-attack.

Watford replied by taking the lead in the sixth minute. Imran Louza was the architect with a 70-yard pass from his own half that saw Bola sprint in behind the City defence.

The former Arsenal youngster's first touch was top class, allowing him to slot calmly past goalkeeper Radek Vitek.
