Everton's Baines and Rooney celebrate their incredible win as Calvert-Lewin looks on

This past weekend's most exciting match was Everton's tie with Watford at Goodison Park on Sunday. The match went on for an incredible 102 minutes and four seconds. It was clearly a game of two halves. The first was lacking in any quality whatsoever. There were a few Watford chances including a splendid chance for Richarlison to round Pickford and score into an empty net but the Watford man missed the target.

The second half was pretty end to end. Watford scored almost immediately after the half began in the 46th minute. An injury to Gomes stopped the game for six odd minutes and Everton were pegged back further when Kabasele scored from a corner on 64 minutes.

Some Everton fans even grudgingly left the stadium after seeing their side falling two behind and showing no sign of improving, but those who left missed quite a comeback. In the next seven minutes, Oumar Niasse somehow forced a ball into the back of the net and Dominic Calvert Lewin scored his first league goal of the season from a corner to put Everton back on level terms.

Aaron Lennon, coming off the bench, won Everton a penalty in the 88th minute and Leighton Baines made no mistake to put Everton ahead in the 90th. You'd think the match was over but with an insane twelve minutes of injury time left, Watford pushed wave after wave of attack and won a penalty themselves in the 98th minute. Former Everton midfielder Tom Cleverly put it wide as the hosts dug deep to pick up a much-needed win!
