Bowen Earns Nuno a Debut Draw as West Ham Hold Everton

The display showed promise for Nuno Espirito Santo, with persistent set‑piece issues illustrating how demanding the rebuild will be.

Overview

  • Everton and West Ham drew 1-1 at Hill Dickinson Stadium, where Jarrod Bowen became the first Premier League visitor to score at the new ground.
  • Michael Keane put Everton ahead with a powerful header from a James Garner cross worked from the second phase of a corner, extending West Ham’s set-piece woes to eight goals conceded from corners this season.
  • Bowen leveled on 65 minutes with a left-foot strike that deflected off Keane after El Hadji Malick Diouf’s surge down the left sparked the move.
  • Nuno Espirito Santo took charge 48 hours after Graham Potter’s sacking and said it was too soon for deep judgments, stressing a focus on competing together.
  • West Ham remain second-bottom on four points from six matches as traveling fans chanted “sack the board,” highlighting the tension around the club’s leadership.
