WEST HAM (1) vs (3) EVERTON - FULL TIME

Sometimes you wonder whether Everton comes into the game with any enthusiasm. Yes, they do not have Yak, who in the first place, has not been a revelation in recent time. Fellaini's also out with suspension.

Other than that, the team has not been deprived of any other important players. But their play was terrible. The midfield with Ossie, Arteta, Rodwell and Timmy do not look convincing at all. The 1st half play brings to the Toffee fans tears of sorrow. West Ham looks to be a more dangerous side, hitting the bar, and threatening to score. While Everton? Not Everton a single shot on target. You really hope for such a spark but it is not happening.

The 2nd half continued to bring no joy for Everton. Are they really interested in playing? West Ham controlled the entire park and rightfully, scored the first goal. Everton was totally in shambles! West Ham 1-0 Everton. Moyes threw Vaughny in for Rodwell to give Everton hopefully more bite.

Then by a sudden coming of senses, West Ham seemed to take their foor off the pedals and Everton started coming to life. Picking up the ball on the right, Saha way given way too much space to put in a cross which Lescott headed it in with much aplomb! West Ham 1-1 Everton. Once again, Everton left it really late again - 82nd minute.

That was just a beginning. Moyes was about to substitute Anichebe with Bainesy, but Anichebe made his final contribution with a low cross into the penalty area that saw Saha putting in a lovely first touch curler into the net. Total striker's goal. West Ham 1-2 Everton.

To further banish the ghost of his injury, Saha put in a lovely long distance curler into the right side of the net with a pass from Timmy. Wonderful, wonderful goal! West Ham 1-3 Everton.

The result was totally undeserving, but if the other teams are willing to offer us the points, we are definitely winning to receive it with open arms.

Score: West Ham 1-3 Everton
Scorer: Lescott, Saha (2)
Assists: Saha, Anichebe, Timmy
Subs: Vaughny, Bainsey, Hibbo
