Josh King’s hat-trick led Watford to a 5-2 victory at Everton in the match of the day in the Premier League.
Everton twice took the lead through Tom Davies and Richarlison, less than two minutes after coming off the bench, but King’s goal got the Hornets level at the break and then, after Juraj Kucka got their second equaliser in the 78th minute, the Norwegian international scored two more to ensure the points headed south.
A fine Emmanuel Dennis goal put gloss on the scoreline for Claudio Ranieri’s side who conceded five against Liverpool last week but dished up the same to the other Merseyside side today.
