Premier League new boys Bournemouth and Watford drew 1-1 at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday in an entertaining draw.

The Cherries of course started the game without injured top scorer Callum Wilson.

His replacement Glenn Murray had a mixed day to say the least. The deadline day signing opened the scoring on 28 minutes, scoring from a superb cross from Matt Ritchie. Murray had already looked a danger to the Watford defence.

The home side looked comfortable in defence and the Hornets offered very little threat going forward. However, on the struck of half-time the visitors got an equaliser courtesy of a terrible mistake from home ‘keeper Artur Boruc.

The Polish international took too long with a clearance and was closed down by Odion Ighalo, who the ‘keeper then proceeded to give the ball to. The Nigerian international rounded the hapless Boruc and fired into an empty net.

The Cherries had the chance to take the lead on 83 minutes from the penalty spot. Etienne Capoue was adjudged to have brought down Adam Smith in the penalty area.

However, goalscorer Murray stepped-up and saw his spot-kick saved by Hornets ‘keeper Heurelho Gomes. The Cherries may live to regret that miss with a tough run of fixtures to come after the international break.

Eddie Howe’s side are now 16^th in the Premier League table, while the Hornets are 11^th in the table, and will no doubt be the happier with the point.

Will these two teams achieve Premier League survival this season?

Bournemouth’s top scorer Callum Wilson will be out of action for at least six months after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.

The striker sustained the injury in the Cherries 2-1 defeat at Stoke on Saturday.

The injury happened after just 17 minutes of the clash in a challenge with Potters defender Philip Wollscheid. Wilson received treatment, before coming back on, only to crumble to a heap and ask for assistance.

The news is a terrible blow for Eddie Howe’s side, as Wilson has scored five goals in the Premier League this season, and also scored 23 goals last season in helping the Cherries to promotion to the top-flight.

Wilson is the third Bournemouth in recent months to have picked-up a relatively long-term injury. Record-signing Tyrone Mings and fellow summer signing Max Gradel are out for the rest of the campaign, and six months respectably.

Bournemouth has not been prolific in front of goal, so Wilson being injured will be a big blow for the Cherries. Deadline day signing Glenn Murray is now expected to lead the line for the Cherries for the foreseeable future.
