West Ham 2-1 Everton: Wilson's stoppage-time winner keeps hosts ahead of Spurs

Wait 5 sec.

ShareWest Ham looked set to slip back into the Premier League relegation zone, but substitute Callum Wilson had other ideas.Callum Wilson was the hero for West Ham, with his stoppage-time strike keeping them outside the Premier League relegation zone and snatching a dramatic 2-1 victory over Everton at London Stadium.The Hammers looked set to slip below Tottenham, who beat relegated Wolves elsewhere on Saturday, and into the bottom three via goal difference, until Wilson claimed all three points in the 92nd minute.Following a cagey first half, during which Thierno Barry's ambitious long-range attempt represented the only shot on target, the contest burst into life after the interval.Five minutes into the second half, Crysencio Summerville's deep cross found Valentin Castellanos, who was denied by a smart reflex save from Jordan Pickford.However, the Hammers hit the front a minute later. Jarrod Bowen's inswinging corner was met by Tomas Soucek, who thumped a header into the roof of the net.West Ham survived a couple of scares as they looked to sit back and protect their lead. Axel Disasi cleared from inside the six-yard box after Tim Iroegbunam got in behind the defence, while Soucek diverted Barry's goalbound header onto the crossbar.Yet Everton's pressure eventually paid dividends in the 88th minute. The hosts failed to deal with a cross and James Tarkowski nodded the ball down for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to rifle a volley past Mads Hermansen.West Ham responded, though, and snatched all three points four minutes later when Bowen cushioned a deep ball back across the six-yard area, where Wilson tucked away to send the home fans into ecstasy.Data Debrief: Wilson the scourge of Everton once moreWilson has now scored nine goals in his last eight Premier League appearances against the Toffees, though this will be the most important by far.West Ham, who had an xG of 1.17 to their opponents' 1.41, are unbeaten in their last six home league games (W3 D3), their best run at London Stadium since another six-match spell between November 2023 and February 2024.Soucek put the Hammers in front with his 14th Premier League goal from a corner, a tally only bettered by Gabriel Magalhaes (17) and Virgil van Dijk (15) since his debut in February 2020.Bowen was the provider with his ninth top-flight assist of 2026, with only Bruno Fernandes (11) registering more in that time.Everton have lost back-to-back Premier League games due to a goal scored in the 90th minute or later (also 2-1 against Liverpool) for the second time, after losses to Newcastle United and Liverpool in October 2007 during David Moyes' first spell in charge.Indeed, it was an unhappy return to his former club for Moyes, who was overseeing his 750th Premier League match, on the occasion of his 63rd birthday.West Ham looked set to slip back into the Premier League relegation zone, but substitute Callum Wilson had other ideas.Callum Wilson was the hero for West Ham, with his stoppage-time strike keeping them outside the Premier League relegation zone and snatching a dramatic 2-1 victory over Everton at London Stadium.The Hammers looked set to slip below Tottenham, who beat relegated Wolves elsewhere on Saturday, and into the bottom three via goal difference, until Wilson claimed all three points in the 92nd minute.Following a cagey first half, during which Thierno Barry's ambitious long-range attempt represented the only shot on target, the contest burst into life after the interval.Five minutes into the second half, Crysencio Summerville's deep cross found Valentin Castellanos, who was denied by a smart reflex save from Jordan Pickford.However, the Hammers hit the front a minute later.
