View: Everton have great squad unity after what outcast duo did v Watford
Sky Sports journalist Ben Grounds has shared the “great team unity” at Everton after Ben Godfrey and Andros Townsend’s brilliant actions against Watford.
The Blues were held to a 0-0 draw against Roy Hodgson’s side but it was the actions of the out of favour duo that caught people’s attention.

“Great team unity being fostered by Lampard with everyone pulling together to avoid the drop”
Focus.
It is far from over but the last few weeks suggest that Everton will remain in the Premier League come to the end of the season – bar any catastrophise.
Lampard’s side has defied all odds, laughing in the face of their extremely tough run of fixtures by beating Manchester United and Chelsea at Goodison Park which helped them claw their way out of the relegation zone.
More importantly, they have taken a massive step in fixing this season’s disgraceful away form.

As it stands, Leeds looks to be down and out with Jesse Marsch facing a catalogue of problems at Elland Road but as the Toffees have proven, a lot can change in a short period of time so the Blues need to fight right until the end.
