BURNLEY, England (AP) - Roy Hodgson's first game in charge of Watford ended in a 0-0 draw at Burnley on Saturday which leaves both sides still stuck in the relegation zone and fearing for their Premier League future.
Hodgson, the Premier League's oldest-ever manager at 74, can take the positives from a first league clean sheet in 31 attempts for Watford.
For their part, the Clarets looked invigorated by the arrival of deadline-day attacking signing Wout Weghorst but still could not find the cutting edge needed.
Sean Dyche's Burnley only has one league win all season after finally playing a fixture originally scheduled for Dec. 15 and twice postponed due to coronavirus-linked issues.
