West Ham are now safe in the knowledge that if they keep this up for four more games, they will play Premier League football next season.

Hammers fans here in east London and beyond, however, will be celebrating all while Moyes endures a miserable birthday.

Callum Wilson comes back to haunt Everton – again
Wilson was linked with a move to Everton in January, yet the striker was on hand to down the Merseyside club once again.
Prior to Saturday’s clash, the striker had scored seven goals in his last eight appearances against Everton and continued that hot streak with a winner at the London Stadium.
What a masterstroke keeping Wilson in January has proven to be.
Tomas Soucek continues brilliant record vs Everton
Speaking of fine records against Everton…
After a tense 50 minutes, Soucek did what he does better than most midfielders – and that’s scoring against them.
His near-post header from a Jarrod Bowen cross was his third goal against the Toffees in four games.
Soucek was everywhere in the game, clearing one off the line and making last-ditch tackles too.
On Soucek’s 200th Premier League start for West Ham, he put in one of his best performances yet.

Fans held up red cards in protest against David Sullivan, further underlining the bigger issues at the club right now.
On the pitch, however, there’s genuine unity.
