Everton secured their first Premier League win of the season as they beat West Ham 1-0 at Goodison Park. In what was the final top-flight match before the international break, Neal Maupay struck his first Everton goal with a fine finish after the break to give the Toffees a much-needed three points, lifting them up to 13th in the table.
As for the Hammers, defeat continued what has been an incredibly poor start to the camaign domestically, David Moyes’ side again a long way off the standards they have set in recent seasons. Said Benrahma struck the post and Maxwel Cornet had two late chances, but they were once again poor in attack.
They will have to spend the next two weeks in the relegation zone, with just four points and three goals scored from their opening seven league matches. It is their joint-worst start to a Premier League season.
