Watford 1-0 Everton: Hornets earn gritty victory
Andre Gray scored the only goal of the game
Watford held off late pressure from Everton to claim a hard-fought victory at Vicarage Road.
Much was promised of a game that saw Marco Silva return to his former club, but neither side was able to create many chances.
Half-time substitute Andre Gray scored the only goal of the game midway through the second half when he tapped in Will Hughes' low cross.
The result consigns Everton to their third straight Premier League defeat, keeping them ninth, while Watford move four points clear of the Toffees in eighth.
