Everton v Watford - Premier League
David Unsworth's Everton pulled off a miraculous comeback against Watford

64 minutes into the game at Goodison Park, Watford led Everton 2-0 and seemed like more of the same for the Toffees - who have endured a tumultuous campaign despite spending in astronomical sums of money in the offseason.

A few disgruntled fans were heading for the exit door, but little did they know what the last half an hour of play had in store for them. Only three minutes after going down, Everton rose from the ashes through Oumar Niasse's strike. Once a forgotten man in the Toffees ranks, Niasse is soon becoming a cult hero at the Gwladys End.

Unsworth then brought off two of his summer signings Wayne Rooney and Gylfi Sigurdsson for Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Aaron Lennon that gave the hosts the drive to push forward to salvage something off the game. Luckily, Everton scored another two goals to lead 3-2, and had a shade of good fortune when Tom Cleverley missed a penalty late into stoppage time.

While it was far from convincing, it was a crucial win for Everton as well as caretaker boss David Unsworth who may have made a case for getting the job on a permanent basis, at least until the end of the season.
