West Ham close the gap on fourth spot with a 2-1 victory over Everton, after a wonderful first-half free-kick from Cresswell, before Holgate equalised shortly after the break. However, the visitors were only level for five minutes as Bowen marked his return to the side with a goal, after Pickford had superbly denied Antonio, but the rebound fell straight to the winger. It went from bad to worse for Everton on 65 minutes, when Keane was shown a second yellow for a late foul on Antonio and the visitors had to play the remainder of the game with 10-men.
