Norwich's quest for promotion to the Barclays Premier League was dealt another blow after a 2-2 draw at Watford saw them slip out of the top two in the npower Championship. Sam Vokes took just 77 seconds to mark his first Norwich start with his first goal for the club but the home side were in front at the break after goals from Danny Graham and Don Cowie. Graham levelled matters in the 26th minute.when he burst onto a loose ball and got a stroke of luck as his attempted pass to Marvin Sordell came back to him off Ward and he curled a shot under the dive of John Ruddy for his 27th of the season. Graham was then instrumental as Watford took a 36th-minute lead. Troy Deeney played the ball down the line and Graham flicked the ball around Zak Whitbread. The American defender attempted to foul Graham but referee Anthony Taylor played a smart advantage to allow him to stride on and pick out Cowie in the penalty area. The winger took a touch before smashing an unstoppable shot in off the underside of the crossbar. Grant Holt was then inevitably involved as Jackson struck a 69th-minute equaliser. Fox whipped in a free-kick from the left which Holt - who was being fouled - headed back for Jackson to finish from close range.
