Romelu Lukaku (left) celebrates his seventh goal in as many appearances against West Ham

Romelu Lukaku scored his seventh goal in seven appearances against West Ham as Everton drew 1-1 at Upton Park on Saturday.

Manuel Lanzini put the Hammers ahead after 30 minutes with a composed finish, but Lukaku equalised late in the first half from Gerard Deulofeu's through ball.

Neither side were able to find a winner after the break, with West Ham losing Dimitri Payet and his replacement Enner Valencia to injury. While Hammers boss Slaven Bilic cut a frustrated figure at the final whistle, a draw was probably a fair result after a game of few clear-cut chances.

West Ham had won just one of their last 18 encounters with Everton, with their last victory in the Premier League coming in 2007. Both sides made one change to their starting line-ups, with Winston Reid replacing the suspended James Collins for West Ham, and Brendan Galloway coming in for Bryan Oviedo for Everton.

It was the hosts who created the first opportunity as Victor Moses shot into the side-netting from Payet's cut-back. Ross Barkley then curled an effort at Adrian at the other end before Arouna Kone shot wide after a quickly-taken free-kick.

The Hammers looked most threatening down the right through Moses and it was from his blocked shot that the opening goal arrived after half an hour. The ball came out to Lanzini on the edge of the area and he showed fantastic composure to pick out the top corner with a fine right-footed shot.

However, Lukaku got his obligatory goal against the Hammers two minutes before half-time. Deulofeu threaded the ball between two defenders and Lukaku took it around Adrian and rolled it into the net for his ninth goal of the campaign.

West Ham lost Payet to injury shortly after half-time, with the Frenchman feeling the effects of a scissor tackle from James McCarthy in the first half. Still, they went close to regaining the lead as Lanzini forced a fingertip save from Tim Howard at his near post and Reid headed over from a corner.

The Hammers were forced into another change as Valencia was stretchered off and Lukaku almost won it for Everton late on when he prodded Galloway's low cross inches wide with four minutes remaining.
