Everton 1-1 West Ham United: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes’ post-match review of Everton 1-1 West Ham United in the Premier League on Monday, 29 September 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Well, that was a proper scrap at Goodison, wasn't it? Everton and West Ham battled it out to a 1-1 draw, and you could feel the tension from the stands. Michael Keane got the Toffees off to a flyer with an early goal in the 18th minute, but Jarrod Bowen had other ideas, equalising for the Hammers in the 65th. Given Everton's recent form, with a loss to Liverpool and a couple of draws, this result might feel like a bit of a relief. West Ham, on the other hand, are still struggling to find their rhythm after a string of losses, so they'll be gutted not to have nicked all three points here.

Keane's early strike set the tone, but West Ham kept pushing, and Bowen's goal showed they weren't going down without a fight. Both teams had their moments, but neither could find that killer instinct to take the win. Everton will be pleased to have stopped the rot after their defeat to Liverpool, while West Ham's search for consistency continues. A point each, and both sides will feel they could've done more, but that's football for you.

The stats tell a story of a closely fought contest, with Everton edging possession at 52% to West Ham's 48%. Despite having less of the ball, West Ham managed to win more corners, five to Everton's three, showing they were dangerous when they got forward. The yellow card count was high, with seven bookings in total, indicating a feisty affair. Both teams had their chances, but the stats suggest a game where neither side dominated, and the draw was a fair reflection of the balance on the pitch.

What's interesting is the successful dribbles percentage, with West Ham slightly ahead at 44% compared to Everton's 40%. This might not seem like much, but it shows the Hammers were a bit more effective in tight spaces. The four substitutions made by West Ham compared to Everton's two could indicate a more proactive approach from David Moyes to try and change the game's flow. Overall, the stats back up the result – a hard-fought draw where both teams had their moments.

The game kicked off with a bang when Michael Keane put Everton ahead in the 18th minute. It was a well-taken goal that set the tone for a competitive match. However, the Toffees' lead didn't last long, as Jarrod Bowen levelled the score for West Ham in the 65th minute. That goal came just after Max Kilman picked up a yellow card, and you could feel the momentum shifting.

The second half saw a flurry of substitutions and bookings, with both teams trying to gain the upper hand. Everton made two changes, bringing on Thiemo Barry and Tyler Dibling, while West Ham made four, including Freddie Potts and Luis Guilherme Lira dos Santos. The late yellow cards for Vitalii Mykolenko and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall added to the tension, but neither side could find a winner. Those key moments defined the game, with both teams pushing hard but ultimately settling for a point each.

Everton lined up with a solid 4-2-3-1, and there were no real surprises in the starting XI. Michael Keane's early goal was a standout moment, and he'll be pleased with his contribution. The substitutions of Thiemo Barry and Tyler Dibling in the second half showed Sean Dyche's intent to freshen things up, but they couldn't quite make the difference. James Tarkowski and Vitalii Mykolenko both picked up yellow cards, showing the intensity of the battle in defence.

Overall, the lineup did its job, with Keane's goal being the highlight. The team showed resilience after their recent loss to Liverpool, and while they couldn't secure all three points, they'll take heart from their performance. The late bookings for Mykolenko and Dewsbury-Hall indicate a team that was fighting until the end, and that's what you want to see from the Toffees.

West Ham went with a 4-1-4-1 formation, and there were no major shocks in the lineup. Jarrod Bowen's equaliser in the 65th minute was the standout moment for the Hammers, showing his importance to the team. The four substitutions made by David Moyes, including Freddie Potts and Luis Guilherme Lira dos Santos, suggested a desire to change the game's dynamics. Kyle Walker-Peters, Soungoutou Magassa, Max Kilman, and Konstantinos Mavropanos all picked up yellow cards, indicating a tough battle in the middle of the park.

The lineup performed well, with Bowen's goal being the highlight. The team will be disappointed not to have won, especially given their recent struggles. The late substitutions and bookings show a team that was pushing hard for a win, but it wasn't to be. West Ham will need to regroup and find more consistency in their upcoming matches.

Michael Keane is Ladbrokes’ Man of the Match, and it's easy to see why. His early goal in the 18th minute set the tone for Everton and gave them a lead they held onto for most of the game. While he didn't register any assists or key passes, his goal was crucial in securing a point for the Toffees. Keane's performance was a bright spot in a hard-fought draw, and he deserves the recognition.
