Late Goal Keeps West Ham Above the Drop Zone

West Ham secured a dramatic and crucial 2-1 home victory over Everton, a result that maintains their two-point lead over Tottenham and keeps them clear of the relegation zone. Tomáš Souček opened the scoring for the "Hammers" in the 51st minute, heading home a corner kick from Bowen. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall equalized in the 88th minute after Mavropanos attempted to clear a cross from the left but only deflected the ball to Tarkowski, who set up Dewsbury-Hall for a powerful shot under the crossbar. However, in the second minute of added time, Callum Wilson snatched all three invaluable points for the "Hammers." Diouf delivered a precise cross to the far post, where Bowen headed the ball into the path of the striker, who tapped it in from close range to make it 2-1.

This marks West Ham's sixth consecutive home game without a loss in the Premier League. Everton, meanwhile, suffered a blow to their European aspirations, dropping to 11th place, despite being only three points behind sixth-placed Brighton.
