On the evening of April 3, 2022 Beijing time, the 31st round of the Premier League began, and West Ham United played at home to Everton. In the first half, West Ham United opened the record, and shortly after the start of the second half, the away team Everton quickly equalized. West Ham then took the lead again, with Everton also receiving a red card in the second half. In the end, West Ham United beat Everton 2-1 at home. Everton coach Gerrard looked very sorry in the face of such a result, standing on the sidelines, with helplessness and unwillingness in his eyes.
Currently, Everton are 17th in the Premier League with 25 points, just three points ahead of the relegation zone. West Ham finished eighth with 48 points, just three points away from the Europa League. The most recent meeting between the two teams was on 17 October 2021, when Everton lost 1-0 at home to West Ham United. In the last round, West Ham United were beaten 3-1 away to Spurs, while Everton beat Newcastle United 1-0 at home to win their first of the last five rounds.
After the start of the game, both teams played conservatively at the beginning, and West Ham United, which played at home, did not press hard. It wasn't until the 32nd minute that West Ham United scored a free kick and Cresville scored straight in to give Everton a 1-0 lead.
Just after the start of the second half, in the 54th minute, Everton equalized. When Everton was in a scuffle in the West Ham United penalty area, Holgate met the ball and fired a furious shot, which finally hit the ball.
But just five minutes later, West Ham again overtook the lead when Antonio had a one-handed chance but was blocked by the goalkeeper, but then the ball reached Bowen's feet and was eventually pushed into the net.
The trailing Everton team seemed to be playing a little impatiently, and Michael Keane's back tackle was a bright stud, and he was eventually sent off by the referee. This red card almost made Everton completely lose hope of equalizing.
In the end, Everton lost 1-2 at home to West Ham United on the road. After this campaign, West Ham United overtook Wolves and Manchester United, who had a fewer rounds, and temporarily ranked 6th.
The match also set 3 new records. First, West Ham United are unbeaten in five home games this season, with a total record of 4 wins and 1 draw; second, Everton have currently gone 12 away games without a win, setting ever the most humiliating away record in a single season since 1878.
