Watford boss "very happy" with opening day draw at Everton

Flores "very happy" with Everton draw

Watford head coach Quique Flores has insisted that he is "very happy" with his side's 2-2 draw at Everton, despite leading for much of the game.

Miguel Layun gave the Hornets an early lead, which they held until Ross Barkley scored with just 14 minutes remaining.

Arouna Kone eventually earned the home side a point, but Flores says that he is still pleased with the result.

He told BBC Sport: "I'm very happy with the players and the result. We have only been working together for six weeks and we have lots of different nationalities.

"We want to be happy with this result and think about the next match. Maybe we have to add a little, but I'm really happy with the players we have."

Watford host West Bromwich Albion next week.
