Leon Osman blown away by Everton attacker Demarai Gray
Demarai Gray set up the opening goal for Everton which was scored by Tom Davies in the first half v Watford.
The Toffees started the game strongly and it did not take long for them to break the deadlock.
Gray industriously progressed the ball into the final third before finding Davies who calmly slotted it into the back of the net.
Speaking about the goal, Osman, a Sky Sports pundit, said on the Premier League world feed, “Phenomenal that from Gray. He wiggled the ball as he has been doing all season and that is a good start for Everton.”
Good work
Gray started the season strongly, registering goals and assists in every game and silenced his critics instantly.
In recent games, his goal output had reduced, but his influence on matches remained the same, albeit indirectly.
However, to see him getting an assist against Watford was a relief and we’re delighted for him.
Even though Andros Townsend was grabbing the headlines recently, Gray is actually the one who makes this side look threatening in the final third.
Conceding right after scoring is something that should not have happened and Rafa Benitez has to sort out his defence before it gets too late.
His side cannot afford to drop points here as Watford are fighting a relegation battle and this is a must-win game.
