SHEFFIELD, England (Reuters) - Watford moved off the bottom of the Premier League after a spirited performance earned them a 1-1 draw at Sheffield United on Thursday after the kickoff was delayed for 10 minutes over what the home side called operational issues.

The visitors took a 27th-minute lead through Gerard Deulofeu against the run of play before Oliver Norwood levelled with a 36th-minute penalty after Will Hughes tripped George Baldock.
