Everton 1-0 West Ham Highlights
Romelu Lukaku came off the bench to score a late winner for Everton against a West Ham side which frustrated the hosts for the majority of the match.
Lukaku, making his first appearance following a month-long absence with an ankle injury, side-footed home Leighton Baines’s cross in the last 10 minutes.
The hosts had monopolised possession, with Steven Naismith going close and Steven Pienaar hitting the woodwork.
West Ham lacked spark in attack and paid the price when Lukaku struck.
