Vyner, who last month broke the club’s all-time Championship appearance record, was on for all 90 minutes of the stalemate at Vicarage Road, this despite Bristol being ravaged by injuries.

On-form hosts Watford took the lead after only six minutes through Marc Bola, before The Robins responded just before the half-hour mark thanks to a precise freekick from Scott Twine.

Both sides exchanged decent chances after that, but Bristol will have to thank man-of-the-match Radek Vitek for pulling off big saves to prevent his side from losing three matches in a row.

Gerhard Struber came into the match missing the services of as many as 10 first-team players through injury, and named two goalkeepers on his bench.

The point for Vyner’s side saw them rise just one place above Hull City into seventh with 23 points.

Kibunguchy cameos in Singapore

Elsewhere in Singapore, Harambee Stars defender Nabilai Kibunguchy came off the bench to help his side - Hougang - bounce back to winning ways after edging Tanjong Pagar 3-2 in a cup game on Friday.

The 27-year-old center back born in the United States to Kenyan parents was introduced in the 84th minute, replacing Huzaifah Abdul Aziz, and ended up playing for seven minutes.

The cameo marked his fifth straight appearance for Hougang, the club he joined on 15 September.

Wilson M.I.A.

Meanwhile in Wales, Kenyan forward Adam Wilson missed his second straight game for The New Saints as they lost 2-3 to Cardiff Metropolitan on Friday night.

Wilson, who also missed his side’s 3-0 cup win over Caernarfon on 4 November, was on Friday, 7 November dropped from Benni McCarthy’s squad set to face Equatorial Guinea and Senegal in international friendlies later this month.

No update regarding injury was made by Harambee Stars or the club.
