Everton will be free to plan for the summer after another great outcome against West Ham on Saturday.
It wasn’t the performance David Moyes had hoped for last night, but the Toffees did enough to earn a point.
Everton are now nine games unbeaten in the Premier League, but they are struggling to convert draws into three points.
Mike Dean criticized Everton’s penalty award, which was soon overturned after the referee consulted the monitor.
The Toffees have been finding late equalizers in recent games, but anything to keep their amazing run continuing.
However, one Moyes signing, Tomas Soucek, who the 61-year-old Everton manager felt stole the show at Goodison Park.
David Moyes praises player Everton want to sign in the summer
Moyes, 61, praised both Everton and West Ham fans following the game, demonstrating true class.
He was also seen interacting with some of his old players after the game, and it appears that some jokes were shared.
Moyes spoke to BBC Sport after the game and hailed West Ham midfielder Soucek, who opened the goal at Goodison.
“Tomas Soucek is a really good goalscorer,” Moyes stated.
“We signed him as a goal-scoring midfielder.” He’s excellent in both categories. He’s also a terrific guy. I’m happy for him, but not for us.
Soucek has been linked with Everton interest already ahead of the summer transfer window. And it is evident just how much of a fan Moyes is of the 30-year-old midfielder as he doubled down on that after the game.
Tomas Soucek praised Everton fans again after West Ham draw
Earlier this week, Soucek commended Everton fans for the atmosphere they create at Goodison Park.
The Czech international maintained his impressive goal-scoring streak this season by scoring his seventh in the Premier League alone.
Following the game, the midfielder proceeded to praise the fans on Merseyside.
“It’s always very difficult for the team and fans when we’re winning and concede in stoppage time,” Soucek told the broadcaster.
“We need to be disappointed.
“They haven’t lost in nine games, so it’s challenging to play here. They have a fantastic fan base, and these are their last few games at the stadium.
For Everton fans hoping to sign Soucek this summer, it appears he would like playing in front of this crowd.
