West Ham recorded a vital 2-0 win over Everton to move clear of the relegation zone and into 16th spot.
But after suffering a second successive defeat against a direct relegation rival, Everton are stuck in 19th, with the likes of Vitaliy Mykolenko and James Tarkowski especially poor on a torrid afternoon for Frank Lampard.
Jarrod Bowen's two goals in the first half stole the show, while Declan Rice kept his side ticking in the middle of the park as the Hammers secured a crucial three points on Saturday afternoon.
