Download West Ham vs Everton 2 − 1 (Premier League 2022 Goals & Highlights)

West Ham strengthened their top-six credentials on Sunday with goals from Aaron Cresswell and Jarrod Bowen giving them a 2-1 victory over struggling Everton.

Cresswell opened the scoring with a terrific free kick in the first half before Mason Holgate's deflected effort levelled things up after the break. Bowen was then the hero for the Hammers, finishing on the rebound just before the hour mark in what would prove to be the winner.

Everton also finished the game with ten men for the second successive Premier League match, with Michael Keane being given his marching orders for two yellow cards 25 minutes from time.

Chances were at a premium in the opening exchanges, although Jordan Pickford did have to be alert to close down Pablo Fornals after neat build-up play from the hosts.

The game desperately needed some magic to spark it into life, and on the half-hour mark Cresswell duly delivered, bending an unstoppable free kick into the top corner.

Just before the break Everton had their first real chance of the game. Richarlison seized upon a mistake by Ryan Fredericks and raced through on goal, only to prod his effort over the bar from a tight angle.

There was time for one more highlight in the first half with Michail Antonio coming close to ending his goal drought. He took the ball past Pickford but blasted his shot into the side netting.

Minutes after the restart Dominic Calvert-Lewin was slipped through by Alex Iwobi. Again though, a finish was lacking with the England international's shot clipping the woodwork as it went over.

The Toffees did draw level soon after through Holgate. After Lukasz Fabianski failed to deal with a corner Richarlison offloaded to the makeshift midfielder, whose deflected effort flew into the bottom corner.
