What they said

Middlesborough boss Aitor Karanka on draw: "I think it was really important because after three defeats, it's always important to add a point," said Karanka

"We know we are new in the Premier League and we know how difficult it is to add points in the Premier League. For that reason, we are really pleased.

"We had a really good attitude on the pitch. Last week we played for just 35 to 40 minutes with that attitude. The main thing for me is to always play with the right attitude.

Watford gaffer Walter Mazzarri on last game: "I am happy with how the team played and reacted, especially after the Burnley game," Mazzarri said.

"Of course there were moments when if we were more concentrated we would have ended up with the three points, but I am happy with the team and a point is OK.
