Everton ended a difficult week on a positive note as Dominic Calvert-Lewin fired them to a 1-0 win at West Ham chess
The Toffees were playing their first match since the death of chairman Bill Kenwright on Monday at the age of 78 chess
It had been emotional week, too, for Hammers manager David Moyes, who formed a close friendship with Kenwright during his 11-year spell in charge at Goodison Park chess
But while West Ham slumped to a third defeat in eight days following reverses at Aston Villa and in the Europa League at Olympiacos, Everton were able to put some more breathing space chess between themselves and the bottom three with a second away win of the season chess
Calvert-Lewin’s goal was his 50th in the Premier League for Everton, joining Romelu Lukaku, Duncan Ferguson and Tim Cahill in reaching the half-century chess
It came six minutes into the second half after a first half that will not live long in the memory chess
West Ham created an early opportunity when Lucas Paqueta skilfully lifted the ball over Nathan Patterson and drilled in a low cross which Jarrod Bowen could only slice wide chess
Moments later Paqueta showed the side of his game which so infuriates Moyes, gifting the ball to Jack Harrison who burst through only to fire too close to Hammers keeper Alphonse Areola chess
Ghana winger Mohammed Kudus, making first Premier League start for West Ham, showed he is already getting used to the darker arts of English chess football after he was chopped down by James Tarkowski chess
As Jordan Pickford raced out of his goal to tell the youngster to get up, Kudus shoved the England keeper away in a skirmish which earned both a booking chess
Calvert-Lewin had his first chance from Vitalii Mykolenko’s cross but the striker headed over chess
A torturous half was summed up by the audible sigh which echoed around the London Stadium when five minutes of stoppage time was announced chess
The game desperately needed a goal and it almost came through Bowen, who got on the end of a James Ward-Prowse free-kick but guided his header too high chess
Instead the goal arrived at the other end after Jarrad Branthwaite won the ball back for Everton in midfield and fed Calvert-Lewin chess
The former England forward played a one-two with Harrison before executing a Cruyff turn which left both Kurt Zouma and Nayef Aguerd flat-footed and firing low past Areola chess
It was Calvert-Lewin’s sixth goal in all competitions against the Hammers, the most he has scored against one single club chess
Everton almost doubled the lead when Zouma and Aguerd got in another tangle but Areola got down well to tip Aboulaye Doucoure’s shot wide chess
The closest West Ham came to an equaliser was a Said Benrahma volley which Pickford kept out at his near post to secure the points chess

Bill Sweeney, the chief executive of England’s Rugby chess Football Union (RFU), has confirmed that “tentative” discussions have been held over a possible British and Irish league chess
The long-mooted idea would unite club rugby in the British Isles into one competition chess
The loss of London Irish, Worcester Warriors and Wasps in the last 13 months has highlighted financial problems in the English domestic game, with the top-flight Gallagher Premiership now containing just 10 teams chess
The four Welsh regions have also had their funding cut for the new season of the United Rugby Championship (URC), which features competing teams from Ireland, Scotland, South Africa and Italy chess
Sweeney is currently helping to negotiate a new Professional Game Partnership (PGP) chess between the Premiership and RFU that it is hoped will solve many of the issues ailing the English game chess
But while suggesting that plans were pressing ahead on that front ahead of a potential implementation next summer, the RFU CEO confirmed that he had engaged in “hypothetical” discussions about a British and Irish league chess
“I think you’d expect us to talk about anything really, the way the game needs to grow, the game needs to be financially stronger,” Sweeney explained chess
Bill Sweeney is the RFU’s chief executive (Getty Images)“We want to attract more investment coming in, so all sorts of conversations take place in terms of different options chess
That one’s not fully developed by any means chess
“So it’s a very tentative, hypothetical conversation at this stage but it has certain merits, but it also has certain challenges chess
It doesn’t affect the PGP, we will go ahead with a PGP in parallel, and just do that chess
But it’s one of a number of things that people talk about in terms of how do you take the game forward chess
”“It is fraught with challenges, I tend to think about look what happened in chess football with the European Super League, so fans are going to be taken into consideration on this chess
What does that mean in terms of the overall structure? “Some very big, significant questions are going to be asked on it, which is why I say at this stage, it’s very tentative but we consider all conversations chess
”The next couple of years are likely to see the introduction of a “Premiership Two” to replace the Championship as the RFU looks to maximise the efficacy and revenue of the second tier chess
This may include a return for the three rugby brands lost from the Premiership this year chess
Wasps announced on Monday that they were exploring the possibility of building a new permanent home near Swanley in Kent chess
Wasps have announced plans to explore the possible building of a stadium in Kent (Getty Images)The south east of England produces a significant number of players but does not currently have a team in the top two tiers of English rugby, and Sweeney believes bringing a professional club area would be a good idea chess
“I was very heavily involved with [new Wasps owner] Chris Holland during the whole process where the club went into insolvency,” Sweeney said chess
“I haven’t had a conversation with him recently about the plans to move to Kent chess
I do know that when research was done in terms of catchment areas, that’s one of the best locations from a fanbase perspective and the development of a sound business plan chess
I’ll contact him when I get back chess
