Everton boss Ronald Koeman was full of praise for two players whose futures are in doubt after victory over Watford.

Koeman was pleased to see Ross Barkley hammer home the winning goal after calling for more end product from his attacking players.

"That's what we like from players like Ross," said the Dutchman. “In the first half we also had opportunities like this but we needed to play a little bit faster.

“Left and right, Ross is a player with a good shot. We need more productivity from midfield and our attackers, but he showed today what we like to see."

Koeman also reserved praise for substitute Enner Valencia, on-loan from West Ham.

“He's that different kind of player, full of running who makes it difficult for defenders," continued Koeman. “We needed that type of player to make the game more open."
