Lukaku misses chances to snatch the points for Everton

An undistinguished first half was suddenly enlivened by two goals in stoppage time, with James McCarthy stealing the ball from a careless Miguel Britos and finishing coolly for Everton.

Then Watford went down the other end, won a corner and took advantage of slack Everton defending as Jose Holebas headed home at the back post.

In the dying minutes, the prolific Lukaku had two fine opportunities to snatch the points but hit the bar with his best chance, leaving more pressure on Everton boss Roberto Martinez, who was greeted by one banner from fans demanding "Martinez Out".
