EVERTON AND WATFORD played out a 2-2 draw at Goodison Park, with the newly-promoted Hornets leading for the vast majority of the game.

Miguel Layun put the visitors ahead early on but Ross Barkley levelled up with a stunning strike with 14 minutes on the clock. Seamus Coleman’s cross found Arouna Kone and he laid off to the England midfielder, who blasted into the top corner.

Odion Ighalo put Quique Flores’ men in front again but substitute Kone cancelled that goal out four minutes from time.

What a hit from Barkley though…

One of the most consistent Irish players in the Premier League was on target today

Tevez will soon be forgotten if Juve’s new-look strikeforce keep this up
