Digne scores last-gasp equaliser for Everton in EPL Watford thriller
Wednesday, 12 December 2018
LIVERPOOL, Dec 11 (AP): Lucas Digne curled home a free kick in the sixth minute of injury time to earn Everton a 2-2 draw with Watford after a wild second half featuring three goals and a saved penalty in the English Premier League (EPL) on Monday.
It was a first goal in English soccer for the France left back following his offseason move from Barcelona - and it was a set-piece strike former teammate Lionel Messi would have been proud of.
Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster had kept out a penalty from Gylfi Sigurdsson with the score at 2-1, but barely moved when Digne whipped his free kick into the top corner from the edge of the area in the final minute of stoppage time.
"It feels like a defeat," Watford striker Troy Deeney said, "but you have to give credit where it's due. The free kick went in top corner."
