The Hammers had taken the lead early in the game when Everton defender Tony Hibbert deflected the ball into his own net following a goalmouth scramble after a Scott Parker corner. Seamus Coleman then equalised for the visitors before half-time.
“Obviously after going one-nil up, we are a little bit disappointed,” said Parker. We needed to win today. But in saying that, we have come off a good result against Fulham and we have been unbeaten. We have not lost the game."
