BREAKING NEWS:Everton star signs a permanent contract deal with West Ham suddenly
Everton scored a late equaliser courtesy of Jake O’Brien to salvage a point against West Ham United this afternoon.
David Moyes was taking on his old team for the first time since departing the London Stadium at the end of last season and the 1-1 draw moves the Toffees 17 points clear of the drop zone.
The Merseyside club can look forward to Premier League football at their new Bramley Moore Stadium, but Moyes has some work to do regarding his first-team squad, that’s for sure.
Several players failed to deliver against the Irons on Saturday, most notably Beto…
Beto’s struggles for Everton continue
A few weeks ago, having scored for the fourth game in a row against Manchester United, Beto looked like he could become Moyes’ new talisman.
Since then, he has failed to find the back of the net and struggled against West Ham today.
Indeed, the striker won just six of his 23 contested duels, lost possession 14 times and completed only ten passes before he was subbed off in the 79th minute.

It was another disappointing display from the centre-forward. Thankfully, he was rescued by O’Brien, who scored in the final minutes to save Everton.
If Beto was bad, then Jack Harrison was even worse, however. Will Moyes make his deal permanent in the summer? Or will he move on from the current Leeds United loanee?
Jack Harrison’s game in numbers vs West Ham United
Harrison has failed to offer much going forward for Everton this season. Across 29 games in all competitions, the winger has scored a solitary goal, failing to grab a single assist.
