West Ham boss David Moyes registered his first win at Goodison Park as an opposition manager as Tomas Soucek’s fortuitous late goal beat his former club Everton 1-0.
The Scot had lost all four previous appearances by an aggregate of 12-1 on a ground where he had success until leaving for Manchester United in 2013.
If home fans had been allowed in – Liverpool moved into Tier 3 this week which mean the only two remaining Premier League grounds who could previously still admit supporters had to close their doors – the way the game played out would have been familiar.
