Jarrod Bowen scored twice as West Ham United beat fellow strugglers Everton 2-0 at the London Stadium, taking all three points in a match billed as a “must-win” for both teams.

The defeat - Everton’s sixth in their last seven league games - will add to the pressure on manager Frank Lampard, while for West Ham boss David Moyes, victory will be sweet relief after his side took just one point from the last 21 available.

Bowen scored his goals in a seven-minute first-half spell, first netting from close range after Emerson Palmieri’s cross was flicked into his path. He was set up for his second by good work on the right wing by Michail Antonio, whose cross was timed perfectly for the incoming forward.

It is more misery for Everton fans, who had a sit-in protest at Goodison Park last weekend following defeat to Southampton, calling for the club’s board to be sacked. Those calls will likely grow louder in the coming days.

CHANCES! Calvert-Lewin and Gueye spurn chances to get back into the contest. Calvert-Lewin fails to react to McNeil's cross from the right flank, while Gueye takes a loose first touch in the box from a cutback from Davies.

West Ham have command of the game, which will force Everton's hand in the second half. Lampard's team were passive in the opening 40 minutes and it has come back to haunt them. Iwobi was unlucky before the whistle to strike the post, but Everton need to up the ante in the second half to get back into the contest.

West Ham hold a 2-0 lead against Everton at the break courtesy of two strikes from Jarrod Bown. The early stages of the game were incredibly tense, but the Hammers found the initiative and took the lead when Bowen converted from close range after latching onto a header from Kurt Zouma. Bowen was on the spot again to extend West Ham's advantage, steering Michail Antonio's cross past Jordan Pickford. Alex Iwobi almost responded for the visitors, but his deflected strike hit the post.
