Quique Flores left with mixed emotions

EVERTON 2 WATFORD 2:

“In the future, when we are winning with a few minutes remaining, and fighting to the end, I hope we can close the match out,” he said.

Last season’s Championship runners-up led twice at Everton, only to be pegged back. First Ross Barkley cancelled out Miguel Layun’s first-half goal with an unstoppable strike from the edge of the penalty area. When Odion Ighalo restored Watford’s lead with a stylish finish seven minutes from the end, an unlikely victory beckoned. But they could not see the job through.
