Everton are out of the bottom three after responding in the early fixture of match day nine against the Hammers. Goals from Bernard and Sigurdsson in both halves sprouted Marco Silva’s side.
Captain Seamus Coleman was out through suspension and replaced by Djibril Sidibe at right back. Dominic Calvert-Lewin dropped to the bench in place of Bernard as Richarlison started up front.
Manuel Pellegrini made a change at left back as Arthur Masuaku took the place of Aaron Cresswell. Pablo Fornals started and Andriy Yarmolenko dropped to the bench in two changes from the side that was beaten 2-1 by Crystal Palace.
Benard broke the deadlock in the 16-minute following a skillful display in the box. The Brazilian timed his run perfectly and latched onto Theo Walcott's through-ball. He initially opted against taking the shot before chopping back onto his right foot and beating Roberto at his near post.
Everton’s confidence flourished and they dominated West Ham. The Home team won majority of the balls and hit the Hammers with long balls aimed at Richarlison upfront. Walcott’s role in midfield by Silva has been connecting as the former Arsenal man was able to initiate attack and link play whiles restructuring the team whenever the ball was earned.
