Watford created the majority of chances but required referee John Brooks to fail to award a stonewall Canaries penalty late on.

The Canaries are now four points clear of second-placed Swansea, with Watford two points further behind in fifth.

Munoz, Watford’s fifth manager since the start of last season and their 14th in the past eight years, made three changes to the side that lost 2-0 at Huddersfield the week before in what proved to be Vladimir Ivic’s final game in charge.
