Everton Boss Marco Silva Heaps Praise on Super-Sub Theo Walcott After EFL Cup Win Over Watford

Marco Silva was left very impressed by substitute Theo Walcott's performance, as the winger's introduction played a huge role in Everton's EFL Cup success over Watford on Tuesday night.

Walcott was brought on at half-time with the scores level at 0-0, and the 30-year-old put in a stellar display, helping the hosts see off the Hornets with two late goals, to book their place in the quarter-final of the competition.

The ex-Arsenal man provided the assist for Everton's opening goal which was headed home by Mason Holgate, and as reported by the Daily Mail, Silva was delighted with his super-sub's 'big impact'.
