Everton 2, West Ham United 1

Another exciting game!  Everton was losing 1 to 0 at half time when I checked in.  The situation worried me:  We've had a problem recently with conceding the first goal before really starting to play well.  Fortunately, that problem wasn't to trouble us too much today.  Victor Anichebe, in the starting lineup due to other player's injuries, was able to glance in a cross from Steven Pienaar.  Shortly after, Steven Pienaar was able to finish after excellent play from Baines and Osman.  The South African once again was able to carry the team on his shoulders, providing creative play whilst presenting an attacking threat himself.
Darren Gibson got a red card for a high boot, but David Moyes is likely to appeal.  Hopefully the midfielder will be able to play next game.  Meanwhile, Fellaini has two more games to sit out of to finish his three-match punishment for headbutting Shawcross.  COYB!
