Everton picked up another point towards their Premier League survival bid on Wednesday evening against Watford.
Unable to breach the backline of the hosts, Frank Lampard's side were helped by Leeds United's defeat at Elland Road to Chelsea, with the Blues two point clear of the Whites having played one game fewer. Fixtures against Brentford, Crystal Palace and Arsenal remain for Everton, who may view last night as a missed opportunity to solidify their top-flight status.
Watford, who were already relegated heading into yesterday's contest, dominated the headlines prior to kick-off after poaching Forest Green Rovers' manager Rob Edwards behind the back of recent League Two champions, who released a furious statement condemning the conduct of the Premier League side.
