Everton 1-0 Watford: Ross Barkley hits back at Ronald Koeman to secure win for Toffees

The clock may be ticking for Ross Barkley at Everton but the midfielder's timely intervention ensured a winning end to their season at Goodison Park as Watford were beaten 1-0.

Manager Ronald Koeman has warned the 23-year-old he has until next weekend to tell the club whether he will be signing the contract extension on offer or be sold in the summer.

Whether the situation at his boyhood club is weighing heavy only the player himself can say, but after a nondescript 56 minutes he produced an impressive winner from distance - his fifth Premier League goal of the season, ending a 12-match drought.
