Everton ratings - Tom Davies delights but stop us if you've heard this one before about Romelu Lukaku


Greg O'Keeffe was at Goodison to run the rule over Ronald Koeman's side earning a 1-0 win over Watford

Joel Robles 7

Little to do barring a decent late save from Okaka but ticked along well enough otherwise.

Leighton Baines 7

An energetic and savvy performance. Plenty of forward runs irrespective of whether they were as decoy or not, and did his job satisfactorily at the back.

Ashley Williams 7

Certainly no flip-flops for Williams who got stuck into the surprising amount of attrition in the contest and ensured Watford's battering-ram attack was blunted.

Phil Jagielka 7

Battled manfully with the considerable physical threat of Stefano Okaka and led the backline well. A smart assist for Barkley's goal too.

Mason Holgate 6

Assured and confident defensively but, as ever, struggled with his creative remit; so much so that even when he overlapped it was of little use and prompted Koeman to reshuffle at half-time.

Idrissa Gueye 7

The usual defensive hyperactivity was complemented by an impressive willingness to burst forward and create.

Tom Davies 8

Denied what would have been a thunderous goal by Heurelho Gomes' fingertips and buzzed about the engine room with typical industry and purpose. Handled the switch to right-back as if he's always played there; instantly improving the attacking balance down that side.

Morgan Schneiderlin 7

Quietly influential on his return, knitting the play together in the middle.

Ross Barkley 7

A terrific goal sealed a lively display which wasn't always perfect but saw him more often than not make the right decisions on the ball, even if occasionally he lingered on it a touch too long.

    Kevin Mirallas 7

    Galvanised by his freshly-penned new deal he produced a non-stop display. Although his hard running and pressing was welcome, he struggled to create many chances of note which must always be a concern for a forward.

    Romelu Lukaku 6

    Stop me if you've heard this one before but... starved of much resembling decent service throughout while largely failing to produce any individual spark.

    Enner Valencia (for Holgate 45) 7

    Not for the first time he made a difference with his direct running and deft passing in the final third.

    Gareth Barry (for Barkley 80) 7

    Made a string of crucial late blocks to nullify Watford's last-ditch rally and his vast experience was vital.

    Arouna Kone (for Mirallas 85) 6

    Some nice link-up play on his brief farewell appearance.
