Watford remain bottom of the Premier League and without a win this season following a frustrating 0-0 draw with Bournemouth at Vicarage Road.
Both sides created good chances in the opening stages, Abdoulaye Doucoure firing over from close range before Steve Cook's header rattled the crossbar.
Watford needed Ben Foster to deny Diego Rico and Arnaut Groeneveld just before half-time, while Aaron Ramsdale had to be at his best to keep out Gerard Deulofeu's individual effort after the interval.
Foster and Ramsdale exchanged further saves late on to deny Will Hughes and Ryan Fraser respectively, leaving both sides with a share on the spoils.
Watford stay rooted to the foot of the table, two points behind Norwich, who play Manchester United on Sunday, while a second consecutive goalless draw sees Bournemouth rise to eighth.
