Everton’s poor away form continued on Sunday afternoon as they were beaten 2-1 by West Ham at the London Stadium.
The Blues fell behind to Aaron Creswell’s free-kick after a bright start in the capital. The set-piece came as a result of a challenge by Mason Holgate.
However, Frank Lampard’s side hit back in the second-half thanks to Mason Holgate’s fine deflected effort. Holgate had initially been named on the bench, but was drafted in for the injured Donny van de Beek, who picked up a thigh injury during his side’s warm-up.

PLAYER RATINGS: Michael Keane and seven others awful at West Ham
But after Alex Iwobi gave the ball away cheaply, Michail Antonio raced clear before seeing an effort saved by Jordan Pickford, but Jarrod Bowen was on hand to turn the ball home.
Everton were then reduced to 10-men after Michael Keane was given his marching orders for a second bookable offence. The Blues centre-back needlessly brought down Antonio.
The defeat leaves Everton three points above the relegation zone. Frank Lampard’s side are next in action on Wednesday when they take on Burnley at Turf Moor. And below is a look at Everton’s next six games in the Premier League, along with those around them in the table.
