West Ham vs Everton LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction as Jarrod Bowen wins it for Hammers

Tottenham have a surprisingly poor recent record at home to Newcastle.

They've won just two of their last seven home Premier League games against the Magpies - losing four and drawing one in that time - and haven't scored more than once in any of the seven meetings.

Eddie Howe is determined to rebuild Newcastle upon a foundation of respect. The former Bournemouth boss took over at St James’ Park in November last year and has since guided the club out of the thick of the battle for Premier League survival and into a position where, while the danger is not yet over, they can see a way towards safety.

That process has been aided in no small part by a January spending spree which saw Kieran Trippier, Chris Wood, Bruno Guimaraes and Matt Targett added to the squad and more new faces are sure to follow, but Howe insists all employees will have to buy into the culture he is attempting to instigate.

He said: “The culture of any organisation will determine its success, so how people interact with each other, and you can stimulate that just with little things to try to get people talking and mixing in different groups.

“Everything we do is trying to create a better working environment, create respect – I think ‘respect’ is a huge word – between staff and players and players with themselves, and knowing that we’re all there for the same purpose.”

It’s all about reaching the Champions League for Spurs and boss Antonio Conte believes qualification would allow for the club to make “good decisions for me”.

Spurs are in a race with fierce rivals Arsenal and Manchester United to reach the top four heading into the final two months of the campaign.

“Every single player understands that we are in the right way to become a strong team and are ready to fight for an important target,” he said. “This is very important.

“Now we have nine games and have to be focused. The players have to be focused to give their maximum.

“To finish in the Champions League would be a great achievement for everybody and allow us to take different decisions and good decisions for me. For sure it will be very important.”

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has urged his players to reset ahead of a nine-game mini-season as they attempt to finally kill off their Premier League relegation fears.

Those members of the Magpies squad not on international duty spent part of the latest break in the league programme at a warm weather training camp in Dubai. That came with Newcastle having engineered a nine-point cushion over the bottom three, despite suffering back-to-back defeats at Chelsea and Everton in their last two outings.

However as he prepares to send out his team against Tottenham, Howe is refusing to take anything for granted.

Attention now turns to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where Spurs are aiming to keep their top-four hopes on course with victory over Newcastle.

The Magpies were one of the league’s form teams for the first two-and-a-half months of 2022 and although they lost back-to-back games before the international break, they’re certainly much fiercer opposition under Eddie Howe.

A late flurry of crosses comes to nothing as the West Ham defence stand firm. A decent showing from Everton for the first hour, but they leave with nothing after yet more individual erors leave them on the wrong end of a 2-1 scoreline.

For West Ham it’s up to sixth and level with both Spurs and Man United, ahead of Tottenham’s game this afternoon.

Which we’ll have coverage of right here coming up, so don’t go anywhere!

Into stoppage time we go and if Everton are going to dramatically steal a point, it’s not exactly evident as to how they’re going to manage it. No real link play now in the final third, no runners into the box. Mykolenko thrashes an effort well over the bar.

The referee has added on four minutes so they best come up with something quick, or else it’s still three points between themselves and the relegation zone.

A rueful shake of the head from Lampard as another attempted through-pass goes flying out of play. The away side have still had spells of possession but it’s going nowhere - Fabianski has been on easy street since 2-1.

The keeper now comes to claim a high, lofted ball above Richarlison and West Ham are just minutes away from the three points.

Antonio’s trickery winds the ball right to Fornals but his swiped effort is miles wide. Applause around the ground now as Ukrainian winger Andriy Yarmolenko comes on as West Ham’s second sub.

Godfrey then has to make a last-ditch tackle to stop Antonio, who took on two and was almost one on one with Pickford. Yellow card for Holgate for a foul on Fornals, who was otherwise away on the break.

Another counter almost sees the Hammers extend their lead but they settle for a corner which eventually comes to nothing. It’s slowing down now, the pace of the game, which suits the home side who lead.

Richarlison tries to drag Everton upfield but after leaving Zouma for dead, his pass toward Gordon is poor and easily cut-out.
