Fourteen man Waterford drew with Tipperary 10 points each at Fraher Field in Ephie Fitzgerald's first league game in charge.
A Dermot Ryan free six minutes into injury time gave the home side a share of the spoils. His third point of the afternoon.
Defender Liam Fennell received a straight red card on 72 minutes for a high tackle on Tipp top scorer Conor Sweeney. The 2020 All Star slotted seven points for the Premier (six from frees) while Darragh Corcoran kicked four for the hosts. The sides were level on six occasions.
Fitzgerald felt that they could have taken the two points. "I'm disappointed we didn't win the game, we virtually owned the second half. It's building blocks for us, we're only together five or six weeks. I think in the second half against the wind, we controlled the game very well. There was only one team going to win it at the finish. It's progress when you're drawing with Tipperary but we set standards, it's a game we should have won so we won't be resting on our laurels. Happy with the result but a little bit disappointed that we didn't finish the job."
