Fifth Win in 20 Games
With only their fifth Premier League win of the season and the first one in three months West Ham moved out of the relegation zone. The Hammers defeated Everton 2-0 at the London Stadium on a day when the club paid tribute to the late David Gold who passed on January 4th. It was Jarrod Bowen who scored both goals after having gone 12 games without a goal.
“t was a big result for everyone connected with the club. The players earned it, they recognise the situation and we are working to get the club away from where they are, said victorious West Ham manager David Moyes.
The manager also said that “the only difference between this and the other performances was scoring two goals.”
“I’m not saying the pressure is off,” Moyes admitted, “but maybe we can show what we’ve really got and maybe the boys are going to know they’re going to have to play much better with the ball and without the ball as well.
“We have had a couple of extraordinary years and we are all disappointed that we haven’t hit that height this year, but we need time for some players to settle in. Hopefully we can build that team and are on the right track now.”
West Hame now face teams higher up the table in the next three games (Newcastle on Februar 4th, then Chelsea and Spurs) and David Moyes thinks that might suit them.
“Today I thought we did a really good job defensively and we didn’t give too many opportunities to Everton, but we still need to tidy up.
“If we had got the third or fourth goal it would have been a much better outcome for us, but winning 2-0 I’m not complaining at all.”
