"Moyes watched on against his former side as Everton's early dominance was rewarded in the 18th minute through Michael Keane's brilliant header beyond the grasp of Alphonse Areola. Indeed, Keane's opener was Everton's 361st headed goal in the Premier League - no team has scored more in the competition's history (level with Manchester United). Iliman Ndiaye and Beto had earlier tested visiting goalkeeper Areola before Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall tried his luck as the Toffees entered the break in the ascendancy."
"But apart from Idrissa Gueye's speculative effort four minutes after the restart, Everton were unable to generate any clear-cut chances, with West Ham improving from there on. The Hammers came close to finding an equaliser through Crysencio Summerville after a mistake from Jake O'Brien, but Jordan Pickford was on hand to deny the Dutchman. However, West Ham's persistence was rewarded in the 65th minute through Jarrod Bowen's fine equaliser, which marked the first goal of the Nuno Espirito Santo era."
Everton dominated early and took the lead in the 18th minute through Michael Keane's brilliant header past Alphonse Areola. Keane's goal was Everton's 361st headed goal in Premier League history, level with Manchester United. Iliman Ndiaye, Beto and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall tested the goalkeeper before halftime. After the restart, only a speculative Idrissa Gueye effort provided a clear attempt, while West Ham improved and looked more dangerous. Jordan Pickford denied Crysencio Summerville from a mistake by Jake O'Brien, but Jarrod Bowen equalised in the 65th minute, marking Nuno Espirito Santo's first goal as manager. Everton ended with 0.73 xG from 12 shots; West Ham 1.17 from 14.
