Three Super Eagles players featured in Saturday’s Premier League clash between Everton and Watford at Goodison Park with Emmanuel Dennis the standout performer.
William Troost-Ekong captained the Claudio Ranieri side in his second game in charge, while Dennis came off the bench to put in a stunning performance as the Hornets defeated Alex Iwobi’s Everton 5-2.
Dennis made an outstanding impact after he was subbed on 64 minutes into the game, picking up an assist in 16 minutes later and another 6 minutes after and before capping it off with a stunning late strike to seal all 3 points for the visitors.
Watford were made to work really hard for their first win under former Chelsea and Leicester boss Raineri as Davies broke the deadlock 3 minutes into the game to put the home side ahead.
However, that lead for the Toffees lasted just 10 minutes as Everton flop Josh King came back to hunt and hurt them when he leveled the scores.
After first half break, Richarlison came off the bench to scored a diving header to restore the lead for the hosts, but it turned out to he nothing but a consolation.
In a remarkable turn of events, Watford mounted an unbelievable fight as they want on to score four goals in the last 15 minutes. Kucka started it all when he scored the equaliser from a corner before King registered his hat-trick, scoring twice in six minutes to turn the game around.
Naija boy Dennis rounded it off in stoppage-time following another quick break, dancing around the Everton defense before calmly slotting home into an empty net.
Alex Iwobi came on as a sub to replace Demarai Gray, but failed to impress as Rafa Benitez side dropped three points for the second consecutive weekend.
