Overview
- Michael Keane headed Everton ahead from a James Garner corner, the Hammers’ eighth goal conceded from corners in the league this season.
- Jarrod Bowen equalised on 65 minutes with a deflected strike, the first Premier League away goal at Everton’s new Hill Dickinson Stadium, yet the hosts remained unbeaten there.
- Nuno Espirito Santo was appointed on Saturday and had just two training sessions before taking charge on Merseyside.
- James Ward-Prowse, an ever-present under Graham Potter, was omitted from the matchday squad as selection choices drew scrutiny.
- Referee Samuel Barrott’s performance drew criticism from some outlets over several decisions, and the draw left West Ham second-bottom on four points from six matches.
