Since his recall from loan in Turkey, Emmanuel Dennis has been a big revelation for Watford, proving how deadly of a striker he is, he was on target yesterday as Watford led twice through Vakoun Bayo and Emmanuel Dennis but had to settle for a point against league leaders Leeds United in Tom Cleverley's first home match as Interim head coach.

Vakoun Bayo scored the first goal of the game, his first since December, but the Yorkshire team was leveled by a stunning goal from Crysencio Summerville, Nigeriasoccernet.com writes.

After a thrilling first half display by the Hornets, Emmanuel Dennis then gave them the lead again, but Mateo Joseph scored a late equalizer for Leeds after coming off the bench.

Watford is still looking for its first league victory at home since November, but a strong, attacking effort against Leeds—a team that hasn't lost in 14 Sky Bet Championship games—offers plenty of hope.

After 58 minutes, Dennis was injured and had to leave the game early with Koné taking his place.

Albeit, Tom Cleverly will be hoping that it is a minor injury and that the Super Eagles forward will be available for selection when they travel to Semi Ajayi's West  Brom.
