David Moyes has paid tribute to his West Ham United paymasters after a crucial 2-0 win over Everton. Pundits and supporters billed the London Stadium clash as “El Sackico” pre-match due to the two clubs’ precarious league positions.
Victory for West Ham lifted them out of the relegation zone by a point but plunged more misery on Frank Lampard. The rookie manager has lost eight of his last nine games as Toffees boss, with their last win against Crystal Palace on October 22.
Bookmakers now make the Chelsea legend odds-on to become the next Premier League manager to lose his job. For Moyes, the vital three points grant him a brief grace period ahead of a mammoth trip to St James’ Park next week.
