Was the result fair?
Everton dominated the game from start to finish. The scoreline slightly flattered West Ham in the end as, if not for good saves from Jaaskelainen and good defensive play from James Collins, it could have been so much more in the Toffees' favour. A comfortable victory and a fitting end for David Moyes's last home game as manager.
Everton performance
An excellent, professional performance. If not for Jaaskelainen, the scoreline could have been five or six, Everton were really at it today. Their passing was slick and they created chances with ease as they carved the visitors open again and again. They seemed pumped up from the start, wanting to send their manager off in style and they certainly did that today.
West Ham's performance
A poor one. The Hammers have achieved their objective this season by staying in the Premier League a season after getting promoted. They seemed to have a vibe of a team that had little to play for. Their midfield was second-best all day long as they failed to compete in the middle of the park as Leon Osman, Darron Gibson and Steven Pienaar were allowed to run the show for Everton. If Jaaskelainen and James Collins weren't on form today, it could have got embarrassing.
Sports Mole's man of the match
Kevin Mirallas: The forward was the thorn in the side of West Ham all afternoon and his movement gave the Hammers' defence a lot of problems as they often got confused about who was picking him up. His skill and running with the ball was incisive and often carved out chances for others, while his finish for the first goal was sublime with a neat shot into the corner. The second he had some luck as his shot looped over Jaaskelainen with the aid of a deflection from Collins, but his performance deserved it.
Biggest gaffe
A huge defensive mistake in the Hammers midfield allowed Gibson time and space to find Mirallas, who also found himself unmarked. He was allowed to coast to the 18-yard box before shooting over Jaaskelainen for his and Everton's second. Some outrageous midfield and defensive play from the Hammers.
Referee performance
Phil Dowd had a pretty ease game with nothing of note to question about his performance. He handed out three yellow cards, which all by the letter of the law were correct.
What next?
Everton: Manager Moyes takes his side to Chelsea for his last game in charge before joining Manchester United at the end of the season.
West Ham: The Hammers host already relegated Reading on the last day of the season at Upton Park.
