#4 Leighton Baines 91’ (Everton 3-2 Watford) Premier League, 05/11/2017

Leighton Baines' late strike completes dramatic comeback for Everton

Two goals down at 64 minutes, Everton showed terrific passion and heart to steal the three points from Watford. Second-half goals from the Brazilian wonder kid, Richarlison, and defender Christian Kabasele had set Watford on their way to what looked to be a convincing victory against a struggling Everton side.

Unfortunately, Watford lost their first choice goalkeeper, Heurelho Gomes, to an injury and that shifted the momentum back in Everton’s favour. Right after Gomes' injury, Oumar Niasse scored a goal. Substitute Dominic Calvert-Lewin rose the highest to finish off a Leighton Baines corner and made it 2-2.

Finally, in the 91st minute, Baines calmly converted a penalty-kick after Aaron Lennon was fouled in the penalty area. The scoreline turned from 0-2 to 3-2 within 23 minutes.

Watford had a chance in the last minute of the game to salvage a point. Unfortunately, Tom Cleverley missed the penalty resulting in a dramatic win for Everton.

They leapt from the relegation zone with this sensational win against Watford. Will this win revive Everton's fortune in the Premier League? Only, time will tell.
