Carlo Ancelotti’s side found themselves chasing the game after Adam Masina and Roberto Pereyra gave the home side an early advantage.

But Mina scored two goals in a single league game for the first time in his career to kick off their comeback.

The 25-year-old prodded the ball home from close range after a goalmouth scored before he doubled his tally with a back-post header.

Everton were reduced to ten-men in the 71st minute after Fabian Delph after he received his second yellow card for a foul on Etienne Capoue.

But the relentless Toffees pushed until Walcott slotted the ball into an open net to snatch three points.

It is the first time Everton have won after going two goals down away from home in the Premier League since September 2015.

The win leaves Ancelotti’s men ninth in the table and it’s piled the pressure on the relegation-battling Hornets.

Watford are slumped at 19th in the top-flight ahead of next week’s clash against Brighton.
