Nottingham Forest's goal drought surpassed the six-hour mark against Watford on Wednesday, but they at least stopped the rot in terms of defeats.

Forest started to pull away from danger following successive home wins at the start of November, but three losses without scoring has seen Chris Hughton's side continue to flirt with the danger-zone.

But the City Ground outfit finally put an end to that run by becoming just the fifth Championship side to stop the Hornets from scoring this season.

It was Forest's first goalless draw since February, and although they weren't able to improve on their 21st-place league position, the draw increased their gap on the bottom-three to three points.
