Ronald Koeman’s Everton got back to winning ways courtesy of a comfortable 2-0 win over West Ham on Sunday.

Goals from Romelu Lukaku and Ross Barkley secured the Toffees their first win in four Premier League matches, in turn recording their fifth league victory of the season.

After an excellent start to Koeman’s tenure – the Dutchman took over from Roberto Martinez in the summer – in which they won four of their first five league games, the Toffees went five matches without a win in all competitions prior to Sunday’s victory.
