Everton played out a 2-2 draw with Watford on Monday evening in a game that was full of drama, although it left many Toffees fans frustrated.

The hosts took the lead through Richarlison but were pegged back in the second half when Seamus Coleman diverted the ball into his own net at the start of a manic few minutes which then saw Abdoulaye Doucoure fire the visitors ahead and Gylfi Sigurdsson miss a penalty.

Marco Silva’s side snatched a point right at the death from Lucas Digne’s stunning free-kick, his first goal for the club since arriving from LaLiga champions Barcelona in the summer, but the general consensus was that it was another two points dropped.

Everton had previously draw with Newcastle United at Goodison Park last week, a result which came just days after losing to Liverpool in the Merseyside derby, and fans on social media expressed their belief that Digne’s goal was fortunate and underserved given the overall performance of the side.

We have gathered some of their comments below.
