Nosworthy rescues Hornets

Nyron Nosworthy struck eight minutes from time to help Watford keep their slim npower Championship play-off hopes alive following a 1-1 draw with Cardiff.

Sixth-placed Cardiff looked like they would go 10 points clear of the Hornets with four games remaining after Kenny Miller's first-half injury-time header had given them the lead. Watford had spurned a host of chances to level proceedings in an end-to-end second half but Nosworthy poked home to ensure the spoils were shared. It meant Bluebirds manager Malky Mackay was denied a win against his former club but the Welsh side remain in the play-off positions after Hull beat Middlesbrough. Watford, meanwhile, have suffered just one defeat in their last nine matches and remain in 13th, seven points adrift of the top six.
