Niclas Fullkrug came on as a substitute and scored a perfectly placed goal, helping West Ham turn the game around to win 2-1 against Everton in a summer football series.
Hammers Control Game Despite Early Error
West Ham played really well against Everton, who were having a tough time with missing players on defense. West Ham had the upper hand for most of the game and finally got what they deserved for their great play.
Potter’s Pre-Season Impact Shows
The influence of Graham Potter’s complete pre-season training was clear right from the start in Chicago. The Hammers showed a strong desire to take on their rivals, often making bold and daring passes to move the ball forward.
Defensive Mistakes Prove Costly
In the game, young defender Kaelan Casey made a mistake that led to Everton’s first goal. He lost focus for a moment and made a pass across the field at the half-way line, which was quickly intercepted by Harrison Armstrong, allowing him to score.
He dashed forward and passed the ball to Idrissa Gana Gueye, who took a shot that slipped past the goalkeeper Wes Foderingham’s grasp.
It wasn’t the worst mistake a goalkeeper made in the first half. New Everton goalkeeper Mark Travers tried to clear a simple pass, but it somehow got through his hands. After that, Lucas Paqueta got a great bounce on the ball and scored to tie the game.
Half-Time Changes Bring Victory
West Ham made seven substitutions at halftime and quickly took control of the game. Fullkrug scored the winning goal with a precise shot from a difficult angle about 20 minutes into the second half.
Everton’s Attack Falls Short
Everton’s new striker, Thierno Barry, had some moments that suggested he could help the team score, but they didn’t lead to any goals. The closest the team came to earning their first points in the Summer Series was a header from Charly Alcaraz.
