Jonathan Spector, making his sixth league start of the season, has given West Ham United a surprise lead at Goodison Park. Finishing a cross from the right by Luis Boa Morte, the defender-cum-midfielder beat countryman Tim Howard for his first goal in 117 English Premier League appearances, giving the Hammers a surprise 1-0 lead over Everton.
Everton Vs. West Ham: Jonathan Spector’s First Premier League Goal Gives Hammers Lead At Goodison
West Ham's coming off a poor performance last weekend against Arsenal, a match shrouded by news manager Avram Grant would be replaced after the final whistle. Grant survived the 3-0 loss after Martin O'Neill backed-out of the job and has since received affirmation from the board that he will be retained through the season.
Thanks to Spector's 26th minute goal, Grant is off to a strong start to this new phase of his West Ham career. For Spector, it is his third goal of the season, the other two coming in West Ham's Carling Cup upset of Manchester United.
