"Areola was powerless as Michael Keane brilliantly headed James Garner's follow-up cross home, after West Ham only half-cleared the midfielder's initial corner delivery from the left-hand side. Idrissa Gueye and Garner went close after the interval, though Jordan Pickford had to be alert after a slack Jake O'Brien header allowed Crysencio Summerville through on goal at the other end. But West Ham, who appointed Nuno on Saturday, improved in the second half, and their persistence was rewarded just after the hour."
"El Hadji Malick Diouf's lung-busting run ended with a cross flicking through to Bowen, whose strike took a touch off Keane on its way into Pickford's right-hand corner. West Ham captain Bowen saw another chance stopped by a last-ditch James Tarkowski block, while Garner's fierce piledriver was pushed away by Areola late on as both sides failed to find a winner."
Jarrod Bowen's deflected curling finish in the 65th minute earned West Ham a 1-1 draw at Everton, cancelling out Michael Keane's earlier header from a James Garner follow-up. Everton had early chances with Alphonse Areola making two important saves, but were able to score after West Ham half-cleared a corner. West Ham improved in the second half after Nuno Espirito Santo's appointment, with El Hadji Malick Diouf's run creating Bowen's equaliser. Both teams had late opportunities—Bowen blocked by James Tarkowski and Garner denied by Areola—but neither could find a winner. The draw leaves West Ham 19th and Everton ninth.
