Nuno gets positive start as West Ham hold Everton

Nuno Espirito Santo started his West Ham reign with a 1-1 draw against Everton thanks to Jarrod Bowen's second half equaliser on Monday.

Nuno was taking charge of his first match as Hammers boss just 48 hours after being hired to replace the sacked Graham Potter.

The former Nottingham Forest manager watched as Michael Keane gave Everton the lead in the first half at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

England forward Bowen ensured Nuno avoided a debut defeat when he netted after the interval.

It was only the second time in seven games in all competitions this season that West Ham had managed to escape without a loss.

The east London club remain second bottom of the Premier League with four points from their first six games.

"We did a lot of good things. We competed well but there is a lot of work to be done. We started the second half on the front foot, the desire was there," Nuno said.

"We have to build on that. Now it is about keeping it simple and trying to give the boys a good identity. We will get there."
