West Ham failed to ease the pressure on manager Julen Lopetegui as they played out an uneventful goalless draw at home to Everton.
The visitors settled more quickly at London Stadium but other than a tame Iliman Ndiaye effort from the corner of the penalty area, Hammers goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski was untroubled in a dull first half.
West Ham, meanwhile, were virtually non-existent as an attacking force but almost took the lead on the stroke of half-time, when Jordan Pickford kept out Jarrod Bowen’s near-post drive with a one-handed stop.
Lopetegui’s team were marginally improved after the restart and Guido Rodriguez forced another fine save out of Pickford 10 minutes into the half, before Fabianski tipped a goalbound Jesper Lindstrom header over the crossbar at the other end.
Crysencio Summerville went closest to a breakthrough with 17 minutes remaining, his low shot rebounding off the foot of the far post with Pickford beaten.
The Everton goalkeeper produced another marvellous stop in added time to keep out Danny Ings’ deflected drive as Everton held on for a share of the spoils.
West Ham stay 14th in the Premier League table, two points and places above Sean Dyche’s side.
