Jake O’Brien’s dramatic 91st-minute header salvaged a 1-1 draw for Everton against West Ham at Goodison Park, stretching their unbeaten streak to nine matches.
West Ham, managed by David Moyes, appeared on course for victory against his former club when Tomas Soucek found the net midway through the second half.
However, O’Brien was in the right place to meet Idrissa Gueye’s delivery, nodding home from close range to level the score.
Everton nearly snatched all three points in the closing moments, with Carlos Alcaraz narrowly missing the target.
Despite their late surge, Graham Potter’s men deserved the draw, though Moyes might feel aggrieved after VAR overturned a first-half penalty decision awarded to Beto.
Meanwhile, former Premier League referee Mike Dean couldn’t hide his amusement on Soccer Saturday, laughing at what he called a ‘terrible call’ regarding the Everton penalty.
The result leaves West Ham in 16th place, while Everton move up to 14th, leapfrogging another of Moyes’ former teams, Manchester United.
