West Ham

Mason Holgate had cancelled out Aaron Cresswell's peach of a free kick before Jarrod Bowen secured a win which piled the pressure on relegation-threatened ...

“We are not in the relegation zone but we are not stupid, we are close and we have to win games.” “We’ll take that into Thursday night and then every game following on.” The win put further pressure on Everton, something goalscorer Mason Holgate made clear in his post-match interview. Those circumstances included the injury to Van de Beek in the warm-up and Richarlison’s profilgacy in front of goal. We have the main course coming up on Thursday and hopefully we can be quicker and sharper.” Jarrod Bowen, scorer of what proved to be the winning goal, concurred, saying that the Hammers would take confidence from the win into Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final against Lyon. “There’s seven games left in the Prem and then Europe as well,” he said. “A great thing is winning games of football and we want to do that in every game to get confidence. West Ham manager David Moyes was in good spirits after the win, telling Sky Sports: “It was a really good win and I thought the players did a really good job.

West Ham beat Everton 2-1 at the London Stadium thanks to goals from Aaron Cresswell and Jarrod Bowen either side of Mason Holgate's goal for the visitors.

To say his problem at Chelsea was an inability to organise his defence is not quite true; the issue was rather organising a team that had the balance also to attack. “It could have maybe been a bit cleaner but overall at this stage of the season I’m happy to take the points and move on.” At one point he wandered to the edge of the pitch to kick a ball back into the warm-up and seemed to pause as though in anticipation of the abuse. What West Ham fan did not look at Lampard’s performances for Chelsea and wish he was scoring those goals in claret and blue? There were boos before kick-off but they came largely from the away fans and were directed at Kurt Zouma. For Lampard there was nothing. But it was probably more than just the “circumstances”, as Lampard put it, of Richarlison missing a couple of one-on-ones, Aaron Cresswell scoring a free-kick, Michael Keane being sent off and Donny van de Beek suffering an injury in the warm-up.

Bowen came back from a month out with a foot injury to score the winner against Everton in the Premier League on Sunday.

It doesn’t matter how much you are playing, you have a chance to help the team and that is the main thing.” It is massive for my career and I am really happy to be here.” We are going to try and go as far as we can in all competitions because I think every one of us deserves it.

Garth Crooks was impressed by West Ham defender Craig Dawson in the Irons 2-1 win against Everton in what could be a victory for the east London side.

Crooks added: “Yes, he has made the occasional error, haven’t we all, but he’s been one of the most consistent defenders in the game. Craig Dawson gave what was another mature performance against an Everton side who had their moments. The former Tottenham attacker wrote: “This player is about as professional as it gets.

Pablo Fornals says West Ham's players are relishing their shot at history, as they face an unprecedented run-in across the next seven weeks.

Look at the top players now from Man City, Liverpool in big games all the time. They sit sixth, three points off fourth-placed Tottenham, but are outsiders to finish in the Champion League spots. It is massive for my career and I am really happy to be here.” Top players do it with their preparation, their recovery, how they sleep. It is better for us. Now we have Ryan [Fredericks], Vlad [Coufal] and Bowen all back.

AFTER THE emotional home win over Sevilla two and a half weeks ago, West Ham manager David Moyes being the measured and experienced manager that he is, ...

Nevertheless, costly mistakes – the story of Everton’s season – came back to haunt them minutes later with a misplaced touch from Iwobi leading to Antonio being played through on goal. He said: “If you want to be a big club, you’ve got find a way to stay prepared and ready for the big games. West Ham had to endure periods of sustained pressure from the Toffees’ especially in the first half, playing primarily on the counter attack for most of the opening 45 minutes.

David Moyes says West Ham ace Aaron Cresswell was actually playing better before he suffered a back injury at the end of November.

It’s taken a little while.” It appears as though Moyes hasn’t been completely satisfied with the left-back’s displays over the past couple of months or so though… “He played much better before his back injury.

West Ham full-back Ryan Fredericks has praised his teammate Aaron Cresswell who produced a moment of quality with his free-kick vs Everton.

It was Aaron Cresswell’s, 32, second Premier League goal of the season and his first since the 4-2 win against Newcastle United on the opening weekend of the season. He has got that all day. With Vladimir Coufal on the bench, Hammers boss David Moyes handed Fredericks just his second Premier League start of the season.

Graeme Souness has named a West Ham star David Moyes will not be happy with this season despite a man of match performance.

Antonio – perhaps more than any other player at West Ham – needed a rest over the international break. If I was managing him I’d want more goals from him. But he has taken on the role of being West Ham’s number nine and with that comes the expectation and pressure to get them. “He should be getting more. The West Ham striker was voted man of the match for his performance in the 2-1 win over Everton on Sunday. But speaking about Antonio before the game, Sky Sports pundit Souness named the West Ham star as a player Moyes will not be happy with this season as a result of his poor return of eight goals.

David Moyes says his summer transfer plans will mean a lot more competition for one West Ham star in particular next season.

West Ham United made a howler by missing out on signing Edinson Cavani when they had the chance.

Even on the international stage, Cavani has been a rampant goalscorer, totalling 54 goals in 130 caps for Uruguay, highlighting how deadly he has been for club and country for a significant number of years. Labelled as being like a “Viking” by former Red Devils manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as well as having an “unbelievable” goal record by his former PSG teammate Marquinhos, the centre-forward has scored a total of 360 club goals throughout his impressive career. As a result of his immense goalscoring efforts with Napoli, Cavani then signed to Paris Saint-Germain in the 2013 summer transfer window in a deal worth a reported fee of £55m.

Lyon manager Peter Bosz has suggested that he has already got one up on West Ham ahead of Thursday's huge Europa League clash.

It is what it is though. “Tete is a special player,” says Bosz, the former Dortmund and Ajax coach. In truth, that just doesn’t seem fair to us at all.
