After a disppointing start to the season at Goodison Park, Everton midfielder Gareth Barry, called on the Everton faithful to be patient with the team and the management.
Martinez's men found themselves a goal down inside the opening 15 minutes, but found a route back into the game courtesy of an outstanding long range effort from Ross Barkley. Although the home side looked seemingly set to dominate the rest of the game, Watford shockingly took the lead once again, through Odion Ighalo. With four minutes remaining however, the home side were able to salvage a point, when Romelu Lukaku and Arouna Kone linked up well on the edge of the box to allow Kone to score his first goal of the season.
Everton, like Southampton, scored late last week to ensure a point in their first Premier League game of the season. The Toffees drew 2-2 with newly promoted Watford, in a disappointing Goodison Park outing.
Ahead of today's game, Southampton manager, Ronald Koeman stated that errors cost his team last week. In particular, Koeman bemoaned his side's first half performance.
Koeman's men could have won the game late on through Sadio Mane, who spurned to glorious opportunities in added time at the end of the game.
Southampton grabbed a late goal at St James' Park last weekend to earn a point in their first Premier League game of the season. The Saints had taken an early lead through Graziano Pelle, but were pegged back by two goals either side of half-time from Papiss Cisse and Newcastle United new-boy, Georginio Wijnaldum. In the final fifthteen minutes, substitute Shane Long, rose well at the back post to head home the equaliser, and ensure at least one point in the first game of the 2015/16 season.
The ground has a capacity of 32,689.
Today's game will be the first of the season at Southampton's home ground, St Mary's Stadium.
