Southampton boss Mauricio Pellegrino says Watford equaliser was a clear handball

Watford 2 Southampton 2 Doucoure grabs controversial late leveller

Watford 2 Southampton 2 Doucoure grabs controversial late leveller

Ward-Prowse, Saints' goalscorer in their FA Cup win at Fulham last weekend, collected Long's cutback and had all the time in the world to pick his spot before slotting home from 12 yards.

Watford fought back after the break, with Gray nodding in and Doucoure stealing the headlines in more ways than one, leaving the visitors to wish VAR was in use.

Nine Premier League games without a win for Mauricio Pellegrino has seen the Argentine tipped as the next managerial casualty, but his side got off to the flawless start with James Ward-Prowse handing them some breathing space in the opening half.

The midfielder diverted the ball in with his arm a minute before full-time as Watford came from two goals down to snatch a 2-2 draw. But for long ball, second ball, they've got strong players and every single action is risky.

Gray should have put Watford ahead but took an air shot in front of goal from Doucoure's cross, before Daryl Janmaat's drive was tipped over by Alex McCarthy.

Molla Wague then mistimed his jump when well positioned to connect with substitute Roberto Pereyra's delivery as Watford continued to turn the screw.

Southampton's players protested but neither the referee nor his assistants saw an offense.

Saints' boss Mauricio Pellegrino, whose job has seemingly been on the line for some time, was left very upset by the decision or lack thereof and wants video review in the Premier League soon.

- Southampton are winless in their last 10 games in the Premier League; their longest run without a win in the competition since January 2005 (also 10 games). Excluding penalties, Brighton have conceded more goals from set-pieces than any other team in the Premier League this season (16).

The case for VAR was strengthened following Watford's extremely dodgy goal against Southampton.
