Said Benrahma whips a cross in the direction of Michail Antonio in the box but it is over his head and skips out of play. Just a little dearth in quality on some of these final balls.

Former Everton midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveRafa Benitez is out in front of us applauding his team. Everton are moving the ball more quickly, getting crosses in, much better from Everton.
They're showing the potential they have on the counter with that pace.

Everton in the game now.
Lucas Digne's cross is half-cleared but only as far as Abdoulaye Doucoure, who goes for the spectacular and fires over.
Finally, some home threat.

You can hear the frustration around this ground. The cheers to great wayward shots from West Ham and becoming increasingly more muted and nervous in tone. They sense that it is only a matter of time before the visitors get one of them right.

They're not dealing with the West Ham possession well.

West Ham spending more time on the ball. That is until Lucas Digne gets a foot in. For a moment, the home side sense a chance to counter but Alex Iwobi can't gather a forward pass.

Former Everton forward on BBC Radio 5 LiveDemarai Gray has been excellent for Everton, he's found a place where he can flourish. He looks really good, consistent.
Hopefully that continues for him. When Rafa Benitez came in in the summer, he identified that his team needed wide players, pace. Gray and Andros Townsend have been sensational.
They've been two fantastic signings and they're carrying a lot of the burden with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison out of the side.

Good start from West Ham.
