Jake O'Brien headed a last-gasp equaliser as Everton stretched their unbeaten Premier League run to nine games with a 1-1 draw against West Ham United in the 'David Moyes Derby' at Goodison Park on Saturday.

Moyes put his phone down, mystified at the news that his six-month reign was coming to an abrupt end.

"It's good we're beginning to get back to better levels. We know we have to pick up the levels and quality. "Tomas Soucek is a really good goalscorer. We signed him as a goalscoring midfielder. He's great in both boxes. He's a top lad as well. I'm pleased for him but not for us.
