Amazing… What Glenn Murray witnessed today, an Everton player, astounded him.

Sean Dyche witnessed his Everton team fall 3-1 to West Ham United, causing him to experience late heartbreak once more.

The Toffees took the lead in the second half thanks to a brilliant play from James Garner, who set up Beto to score the first goal.

But eight minutes later, Kurt Zouma scored against his old team to give the visitors a response.

Similar to their previous match, which ended in a stalemate, Tomas Soucek and Edson Alvarez scored all three points for David Moyes’ team despite dramatic injury time.

Despite the dismal afternoon, Glenn Murray of BBC Sports’ Final Score commended Gardner for his assist in Everton’s opening goal.

The former Brighton striker added, “James Garner just whips in a wonderful ball and invites Beto to go and head it,” while speaking on Final Score.

“He has just redeemed himself there for that penalty miss,” he continued. Fantastic header by the large man.

After missing a penalty earlier in the game, Beto’s score will somewhat diffuse the pressure.

Everton were boosted earlier in the week after the Premier League handed four points back;

however, with the wins drying up, are fans right to be concerned?

The lack of goals are a real worry. The Toffees’ front men look wholly drained of confidence.

Neither look like adding a prolific edge to Dyche’s side.

The starting XI have been defensively sound, but James Tarkowski, Jarrad Branthwaite

and Jordan Pickford are almost required to keep a clean sheet to guarantee the chance of a win.

The Goodison Park defeat sees Everton drop one place to 16th. Things don’t get any easier with a tough-looking trip to Manchester United next Saturday.

At the moment, it’s hard to see where that first win is coming from.

Talking after the fixture, Tarkowski highlighted the goalscoring issue at Goodison Park.

“We have to take ownership, we create chances and defend well, but we don’t put the ball in the back of the net,” he told BBC Sport.

“We didn’t put the game to bed, the penalty, four or five great opportunities, you get punished in this league.”
