As soon as Sam Allardyce turned up at Goodison Park ahead of Everton's annihilation of West Ham in this evening's match things started to look gloomy, he organised 'his' team by i phone, his principal wish being to re-instate Wayne Rooney in to Everton's starting line up, delving in to his meticulous player records he will have known just how much Rooney loves to score against West Ham, and Rooney duly obliged with a hat trick.

Everton FC: Pickford, Williams, Martina, Kenny, Holgate, Gueye, Davies, Sigurdsson, Lennon, Rooney, Calvert-Lewin. Subs: Robles, Schneiderlin, Ramirez, Besic, Vlasic, Lookman, Baningime.
West Ham United: Hart, Reid, Cresswell, Zabaleta, Obiang, Masuaku, Ogbonna, Kouyate, Arnautovic, Lanzini, Ayew. Subs: Adrian, Sakho, Noble, Martinez, Antonio, Fernandes, Rice.

At the beginning of the season few supporters of either West Ham or Everton would have forseen tonight's televised match as a relegation battle 'six-pointer', never the less that is exactly what it is! The thought of relegation would probably have been further from the mind for Toffees fans who welcomed a new owner and new manager and plenty of money to the fold than for Hammers' fans, unfortunately for the former they sold big but brought even bigger in terms of finance but not of final product.
