It should have been a colourful derby, embellished with more than a few goals, but Everton and West Ham failed to deliver the expected entertainment. However, the guests won’t regret it since they got themselves all three points thanks to Angelo Ogbonna’s header 15 minutes before the final whistle, which puts them on the brink of UCL spots, with as many points (15) as fifth-placed Manchester United and Everton.#EVEWHU #WestHam #PremierLeagueEverton 0 – [1] West Ham | GOAL! Angelo OgbonnaFollow me to never miss any goal highlights pic.twitter.com/2dw3A5pr7j— Ronard Addo (@ronard_addo) October 17, 2021 The Toffees were slightly better and more determined, coming first from a starting block, but Iwobi’s unbelievable miss following a cross from the right prevented them from breaking the deadlock. The visitors pulled that off through Soucek halfway through the first period, but his goal was disallowed due to offside.Once the teams returned from the break, the hosts again dominated the pitch, but Towsend’s perfect cross Rondon placed inches wide of the right post.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Who would have thought it would be their last goal-scoring chance for the rest of the game. On the other end, West Ham were not very dangerous but managed to score from a superbly exploited set-pieces situation. Everton and England keeper Pickford firstly ran towards the ball but soon found himself stuck in the middle of the six-yard box. Ogbonna netted a winner and tarnished Everton’s – until today – perfect record of three home wins.
