Everton faithful salute Moyes

Everton 2 West Ham 0

The 50-year-old Scot was hailed by all four sides of the famous old ground before kick-off against West Ham, had his name sung with pride by the Gwladys End throughout, and was given a guard of honour by his players before the lap of appreciation after the final whistle.

His final game in charge, before he takes up the reins from Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, will be against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge next weekend. For most of the Everton fans this was the chance to thank Moyes for his efforts at Goodison. And he was given a proper send-off on and off the pitch. He might not have won a trophy at Everton but this victory over West Ham, inspired by two goals from Kevin Mirallas, means he leaves the Toffees in far better health than when he found them.
