Southampton seem to be getting a little closer to equalising, but they haven't really tested the goalkeeper enough since they scored, for me.

Rocco Vata goes for goal but his effort looks a little rusty as it's dragged wide.

The 21-year-old only played 12 Championship games for the Hornets last season after a hamstring issue plagued his season.

A nicely taken set piece from James Bree but the follow up isn't up to much and Watford keeper Federico Ravaglia smothers quite easily.

Might have been offside anyway.

Southampton's Flynn Downes and Watford's Othmane Maamma are at loggerheads with each other and it requires both sets of team captains to come rushing to prevent it all from spilling over.

The referee punishes their bad behaviour with a yellow card apiece.

Mamadou Doumbia barges into Saints' Leo Scienza to give away a free kick and earn the umpteenth yellow card of this contest.

A debut for Divin Mubama!

The Manchester City loanee caught the eye at Stoke City last season but injury disrupted his campaign. Here's a first look at what he can do in a Saints shirt.

Cyle Larin and Cameron Bragg are off, Samuel Edozie is the other to be added to the field.

Southampton are all over their attacking final third now.

Finn Azaz sends a good cross into Saints team-mate Taylor Harwood-Bellis but the defender nods his effort well off-target.

Southampton have certainly come to life now.

Whatever Tonda Eckert said during the break has done the job but they haven't finished the comeback task yet.

Cyle Larin puts in a very poor, weak pass to concede possession to Watford in the box after good work to set up the attack.

Watford are looking for that counter attack third goal.

If Michael Adu-Poku gets in behind, they won't catch him. It shows what the manager is trying to do.

But they've got to make sure they're compact in their own half because we all know how good Southampton are with the football.

For the first time today, Watford are looking a little vulnerable.

They bring on the fresh legs of Edo Kayembe and Michael Adu-Poku to keep their cool.

Edoardo Bove and goal scorer Amin Nabizada depart.

WHAT A MOMENT FROM RYAN MANNING!

Watford refuse to allow Saints to trample them and go on the attack themselves to try and restore their two goal cushion.

Iker Bravo is in the middle of the box but Manning intervenes to prevent him from finding the net. Match saving stuff, possibly.

Cyle Larin comes close to a second but Hornets stopper Federico Ravaglia is lively to deny it.

It's a different game suddenly thanks to Cyle Larin's goal.

Southampton have been revitalised.

In comes Finn Azaz to keep the spark going in place of Lewis Dobbin.

I think Saints have been a little bit too clever for their own good with the way things have gone so far in this game.

They've hardly tested the goalkeeper all day.

A great ball from Amin Nabizada to Watford team-mate Omar Traore on the right sets up the summer signing to get his laces on a shot.

He puts in plenty of pace but it thumps off Saints goalkeeper Daniel Peretz.

So far, looks as if we are resuming where we left off in the first half.

Boos as the referee stops play for Saints midfielder Kuryu Matsuki to get treatment.

He's been caught in the face but seems like he will be fine.
