Everton's forward Mason Mount made a spectacular return to action after being sidelined for several weeks due to injury. He scored his first goal of the season in the starting XI against Watford on Saturday.

The England international had been out of action since September 22, when he suffered a hamstring injury while playing for England at the World Cup in Qatar. However, he has now returned to full fitness and was given the nod by manager Carlo Ancelotti to start against Watford.

Mount started well, creating several chances for his teammates before eventually slotting home from close range. The goal came just two minutes into the second half as Everton took control of the game.

It was a much-needed victory for Everton, who had lost their previous three matches. The win also moved them up to fifth place in the Premier League table, putting them in a good position going into the final quarter of the season.

Ancelotti praised Mount's performance and said: "He worked hard, played well and scored a great goal. It's important that we get him back and help him regain his form."

Mount's return to action is a big boost for Everton, who have struggled without their star player. He will be hoping to continue his impressive form and help his team secure a top-four finish this season.
