The German youngster was solid last season for the Black Cats, scoring [four](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leon-dajaku/leistungsdaten/spieler/483974/plus/0?saison=2021) goals and setting up [four](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leon-dajaku/leistungsdaten/spieler/483974/plus/0?saison=2021) more in [League One](https://www.footballfancast.com/league-one), but whether he can make the step up to Championship level remains to be seen. Elliot Embleton impressed off the bench against Reading, [twice](https://www.sofascore.com/sunderland-reading/DsQ) in quick succession to down the Royals. [also scored](https://www.sofascore.com/sunderland-reading/DsQ) in midweek and will be hoping to do so again at Vicarage Road.

Then, out of nowhere, Colombian teenager Yaser Asprilla curled a clever ball into space on the left for Hassane Kamara to chase. The second half began with almost total Watford domination. It then required Batth to throw his body in the way of a Davis shot and referee Busby to ignore Watford's penalty appeals when Kamara's cross appeared to catch the outstretched arm of Gooch. If that goal came as a surprise, it was nothing compared to the Sunderland equaliser on the stroke of half-time. Watford were left to send over a series of crosses that were delivered by players who should have been in the area to receive them, which played into the aerial dominance of Sunderland central defender Danny Batth in particular. With the game ebbing away from the Wearsiders, Patrick Roberts clipped over a cross that evaded the Watford central defenders and dropped at the feet of Bennette, who swivelled and turned home to square a match of errors and curious goals.

Sunderland substitute Jewison Bennette earned his side a 2-2 draw at Watford with an 87th-minute equaliser at Vicarage Road.

Watford were left to send over a series of crosses that were delivered by players who should have been in the area to receive them, which played into the aerial dominance of Sunderland central defender Danny Batth in particular. Without the injured Ross Stewart, Mowbray had decided against trying to play a false No 9 and instead pressed four players up as a false forward line up against the Watford rearguard.

Jewison Bennette's late equaliser earns Sunderland a draw at Vicarage Road to deny Watford a fourth home win of the season.

What I want us to learn from is that when we're on top and in the ascendancy, we need to ride that as long as we can." The real positive is that the young lads helped us recover from 2-1 down today and get a point, which will help them. That's the same for a few of the substitutes I put on today. For a 20-minute spell after half-time I saw the team that we want to be for 90 minutes. We want to have that intensity for the full game. Then, out of nowhere, Colombian teenager Yaser Asprilla curled a clever ball into space on the left for Hassane Kamara to chase.
