Noel And Bez Take In A Manchester City Game

Ben Foster's dreadful error gifted Darius Vassell the goal that condemned Watford to relegation after a 1-1 draw at home to Manchester City.It was unfortunate that Foster - the Hornets' best player this season - should make the mistake that ensured Adrian Boothroyd's team would return to the Championship.

But had the on-loan Manchester United goalkeeper's under-hit pass not gifted City striker Vassell the opening goal, and had Watford gone on to win this game, it would have merely delayed the inevitable.

Substitute Tamas Priskin equalised for the Vicarage Road hosts in the 75th minute, but the painful truth for Boothroyd is that his team have hardly ever looked good enough this season, and their demotion after just one season is a surprise to nobody.

In front of Oasis star and City fan Noel Gallagher, City were as poor as Watford, but the home side - as on so many occasions - lacked the guile to break down the visitors' defence, meaning Stuart Pearce's team did not have to work especially hard to claim a point.

Gallagher was joined in the crowd by Bez from fellow Manchester band the Happy Mondays - but there was little supersonic about City's attacking play.

Half-time entertainment in the away end at Vicarage Road involved fans getting your mobile phone out and taking a picture of yourself with Manchester City fan, and the mastermind behind rock band Oasis, Noel Gallagher.
