It has taken him 11 years, but David Moyes finally buried one of his 'ghosts' by beating his former club Everton in a dour but gritty win at Goodison which proved even to the most negative of Hammers fans that he is starting to 'build' something special. Moyes' achievement is even more special given the severe restrictions he has had to work under, Covid-19, no money, big mouth owners, and an imbalanced disparate and desperate squad.

Everton: Pickford, Holgate, Mina, Coleman, Godfrey, Doucoure, Davies, Bernard, Sigurdsson, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin Subs: Olsen, Lossl, Keane, Tosun, Nkounkou, Rodriguez, Gomes, Gordon, Branthwaite.
West Ham: Fabiański, Coufal, Dawson, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Rice, Souček, Bowen, Benrahma, Fornals, Haller Subs: Randolph (GK), Johnson, Balbuena, Diop, Noble, Snodgrass, Lanzini, Yarmolenko, Antonio

As David Moyes prepares his team to face the last of the Christmas/New Year fixtures he reflected on how things have gone so far this season, and how he hopes for a continuation of what has been a very bright start despite only picking up 3 points in the last four games recently.
