West Ham United bounced back from their defeat to Manchester United in their opening match of the Premier League Summer Series by coming from behind to beat Everton 2-1 in Chicago, Illinois.
Everton took the lead in the 17th minute after winning the ball on the halfway line, with Jack Harrison running at the defence and then freeing captain Idrissa Gana Gueye, who fired underneath Wes Foderingham.
But Everton’s new goalkeeper Mark Travers gifted West Ham a 41st-minute equaliser with a howler, attempting a one-handed punch just inside his box which went badly wrong, going behind him and allowing Lucas Paqueta to score.

Niclas Fullkrug completed the turnaround in the 64th minute, advancing down the left side and drilling a crisp low finish into the bottom-right corner from just inside the penalty area.
West Ham have three points from their two matches at the Summer Series, leaving them level with AFC Bournemouth and three points behind Manchester United. Everton have lost both of their matches at the tournament.
