West Ham United vs Everton LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
West Ham 2-0 Everton: Jarrod Bowen scores twice as the Hammers get a crucial win to pile the pressure on Frank Lampard
Jarrod Bowen scored twice as West Ham United beat fellow strugglers Everton 2-0 at the London Stadium, taking all three points in a match billed as a “must-win” for both teams.
The defeat - Everton’s sixth in their last seven league games - will add to the pressure on manager Frank Lampard, while for West Ham boss David Moyes, victory will be sweet relief after his side took just one point from the last 21 available.
Bowen scored his goals in a seven-minute first-half spell, first netting from close range after Emerson Palmieri’s cross was flicked into his path. He was set up for his second by good work on the right wing by Michail Antonio, whose cross was timed perfectly for the incoming forward.
It is more misery for Everton fans, who had a sit-in protest at Goodison Park last weekend following defeat to Southampton, calling for the club’s board to be sacked. Those calls will likely grow louder in the coming days.

West Ham United vs Everton
Frank Lampard is under just as much pressure as Moyes as his Everton side sit 19th in the Premier League table. The Toffees are winless in their last seven Premier League matches, and their latest defeat at the hands of Southampton last time out elevated the feeling of frustration among the Everton fanbase. They need a result to lift the gloom on the blue half of Merseyside and can ill afford to show mercy to their former manager.
West Ham United vs Everton
David Moyes enters the contest under huge pressure in the West Ham dugout. The Hammers have failed to win any of their last seven Premier League outings, including their 1-0 defeat to Wolves last time out. Moyes needs some magic from his team against his old club, but it will not be straightforward. West Ham begin the day in the relegation zone and need to stem the tide to turn momentum back in their favour.
