Watford held to draw in Flores' final game
Quique Sanchez Flores' final game as Watford manager was an entertaining draw with Sunderland at Vicarage Road.
Having secured their Premier League safety on Wednesday, Sunderland made nine changes and led when Jack Rodwell turned in Jeremain Lens' low cross.
Sebastian Prodl's header levelled for Watford just after the break before Lens drove in three minutes later.
Troy Deeney's penalty equalised again but the away side, who had two goals disallowed, held on for a point.
