Calvert Lewin Strike Sinks Hammers

Harrison played a simple short pass into Calvert-Lewin on the edge of the area. He turned neatly away away from Zouma and Aguerd before dragging a precise first-time shot back across goal. It beat the diving Areola and rolled into the corner. It’s Calvert-Lewin’s 50th Premier League goal for Everton.

Full time: West Ham 0-1 Everton

Peep peep! That’s a terrific win for Everton, their third in five league games. They defended superbly, particularly the centre-backs James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite, and had the better of what few chances there were.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, whose presence makes such a difference to the team, scored a really good winning goal early in the second half. Whisper it, but Everton are threatening to become a serious football team again.

West Ham were very poor, and there were loud boos at the final whistle. They’ll be fine, though they do need to find a way to play against deep-lying defences.
