Two weeks on from seeing a ‘Moyes out’ banner amongst his own supporters, David Moyes and his boys respond with back-to-back wins. The Hammers have now surpassed their points total of last season after 27 of 38 games played.
Tomas Soucek struck a stylish half-volley as West Ham scored twice in injury time to clinch a dramatic win at Everton.
The Blues had taken the lead when Beto – who had seen a first-half penalty saved – headed in at the back post shortly after half-time.
Kurt Zouma equalised for the Hammers with a header from a corner (62‘).
The game looked set to end in a draw but Soucek scored a stunning goal with his instep in added time before Edson Alvarez struck right at the end.
Soucek’s goal was a moment to savour and was akin to something Hammers legend Paolo di Canio might have produced at his peak: Mohamed Kudus swung a high cross-field pass into the right corner of the box where the Czech midfielder deftly controlled the ball before striking a swerving shot with his instep, which flew into the corner of the net beyond Jordan Pickford.
On the other side of the pitch also West Ham’s goal keeper Alphonse Areola was instrumental in the Hammers’ away win: his performance this afternoon was the highest rated by a goalkeeper in the Premier League this season (9.74). 🔒
