Watford currently find themselves a very respectable 7th in the Premier League. A point and a couple of places above Everton, Watford beat Ronald Koeman’s men at the weekend to take the higher place in the league table.

Despite Romelu Lukaku taking the lead for Everton within 20 minutes, Walter Mazzarri saw his Watford side fight back to take the score to 3-1, before Lukaku scored again towards the end of the match.

Stefano Okaka scored his first goal for Watford, since arriving from Anderlecht during the summer transfer window, and doubled his tally during the second half.
