Demarai Gray admits Everton's late horror show against Watford was 'not acceptable'... with the Toffees booed off after shipping four late goals as Josh King returned to Goodison Park to score a hat-trick

Everton's Demarai Gray branded his team's performance as 'unacceptable' as they were booed off following a 5-2 thrashing by Watford at Goodison Park.

The home side led 2-1 until conceding four times in the final 12 minutes with thousands of Blues leaving early with those who stayed venting their frustration.

'We were in a good position. As a group we have to take accountability. It is not acceptable,' said Gray, who had set up the opening goal for Tom Davies after only 130 seconds.
