Tomas Soucek left it late to awaken the first Premier League game of 2021 from its slumber, but David Moyes and West Ham cared not a jot as they celebrated a first win in five outings at Everton. Carlo Ancelotti’s side were out of ideas and out of energy as they missed the chance to go second in the table.
The West Ham midfielder struck in the 86th minute to give Moyes his first points at Goodison Park since leaving Everton for Manchester United seven years ago. The game desperately needed his intervention, as this was a sterile and dull contest until the visitors punished Everton’s laboured display.
