West Ham 1-1 Everton: Dominic Calvert-Lewin scores an equaliser for the Toffees
Dominic Calvert-Lewin's goal was his first in four matches for Everton
Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored his 11th goal of the season as Everton fought back from a goal down to draw at West Ham.
Before the match, hundreds of Hammers fans protested about the running of the club in the week of the 10-year anniversary since David Sullivan and David Gold bought West Ham.
However, the hosts took the lead when Issa Diop headed in from Robert Snodgrass' free-kick from the right touchline.
But their advantage only lasted four minutes as Calvert-Lewin scored with a diving header after Mason Holgate had flicked on Lucas Digne's corner.
Everton remain 11th in the Premier League, but West Ham drop down one place to 17th and are only one point ahead of 18th-placed Aston Villa.

Calvert-Lewin deserves England chance - Coleman
Calvert-Lewin has played in all of the six matches since Carlo Ancelotti took over. The 22-year-old's spectacular header was his ninth league goal of the campaign and he took his chance well as he continues to enhance his growing reputation.
He is currently enjoying his best ever season in the top flight and is the seventh highest English scorer in the league in 2019-20.
However, with England captain Harry Kane out until at least April with a hamstring injury and with Leicester's Jamie Vardy retired from international football, Calvert-Lewin, who has been capped at under-21 level, still has a chance of forcing his way into Gareth Southgate's squad for Euro 2020.
Indeed, after the match Everton skipper Seamus Coleman tipped his team-mate for a full call-up.
"I'm hearing lots of names for England and you have to start throwing Dominic into the hat," said Coleman.
"The only thing you could've said against him in the past was that he had to score more goals and this season he is doing that and answering the critics."
'We could've performed better' - what they said
Everton goalscorer Dominic Calvert-Lewin said: "I thought we underperformed and it was disappointing to not play to our strengths and the patterns of play we know.
"We got ourselves back into the game and it was a good point but we're disappointed to not take all three.
"I'm happy to get on the scoresheet and help my team but I think we could've performed better."
On the impact Carlo Ancelotti has made at Everton, Calvert-Lewin added: "It has been a good experience so far for me. I'm learning every day and picking up new things. Hopefully I can keep hitting the back of the net."
What next?
West Ham play at Leicester on Wednesday (19:30 GMT) before a home tie against Championship leaders West Brom in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday, 25 January (15:00 GMT).
Everton are at home on Tuesday against Newcastle (19:30 GMT) and then have 10 days without a game before playing Watford away on Saturday, 1 February (15:00 GMT).
