73' - The pace of the game has just slowed a little over the last few minutes. It's difficult to see where a winning goal is coming from right now.
78' - A sustained spell of Watford pressure ends with Etienne Capoue lashing a left-footed shot high and wide from distance. Very wasteful from the French midfielder.
79' - Jordan Pickford makes two really good saves in quick succession as he denies Kiko Femenia and Daryl Janmaat from close range.
GOAL! Watford 1-0 Everton (Deeney)
79' - Troy Deeney gives the hosts the lead with a superb strike into the top corner from close range after a good pick-out by Stefano Okaka.
A rare moment of quality in what has been an otherwise disappointing game.
82' - Yannick Bolasie and Dominic Calvert-Lewin replace Wayne Rooney and Gylfi Sigurdsson for Everton.
Cenk Tosun of Everton and Sebastian Prodl of Watford battle for the ball
87' - Everton haven't really offered too much of a response to going a goal down. Can they find a late equaliser or will Watford hold on for a valuable three points?
88' - Stefano Okaka spins Michael Keane with a lovely turn before stinging Jordan Pickford's palms with a well-struck shot from distance.
Good play all around!
