Inspired by the electric Modou Barrow, Swansea City launched a second-half assault on the Watford goal but couldnt convert in a 0-0 draw at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.The talented forward beat the visiting defence for pace and skill time and again, but none of the teammates he picked out could make their chances count. Still, Swansea (1-2-6) ended a four-game losing streak to give new manager Bob Bradley his first Premier League point.The first half was a stodgy affair, notable only for near-harmless long-range efforts from Swanseas Gylfi Sigurdsson and Watfords Etienne Capoue.After the break, Swansea took hold of possession, allowing Barrow to make progress up the wing and find Borja Baston, who flicked wide from close range. Shortly after, teammate Mike Van der HHoorn connected with a Sigurdsson free kick, only to see Heurelho Gomes pull off a brilliant point-blank save.dddddddddddd It was the Icelanders turn to be profligate after that when twice set up by Barrow. He first shot straight at Gomes from close range and then hit the base of the post.Watford (3-3-3) took heart from the misses and could have won it themselves at the death with Nordin Amrabat shooting over when released on the counter-attack by Odion Ighalo.There was still time for Kyle Naughton and Sigurdsson once again to plant decent opportunities straight into the keepers gloves, summing up a highly frustrating afternoon for the Swans.
