West Ham United defender James Tomkins has admitted that he and his teammates were disappointed with the manner of their 2-1 defeat to Everton.
The Hammers fell behind to a goal from Romelu Lukaku, but battled back through a strike from Mauro Zarate.
However, the Toffees won the game on the counter-attack as Leon Osman found the net in the 74th minute.
Tomkins told the club's official website: "When we got back into the game and made it 1-1, we looked the stronger team so we're disappointed to lose it in the end. The lads gave it all they had and towards the end we tried to play off Andy [Carroll].
"We showed a good effort and on most days we would have gone on from making it 1-1 to winning the game. It wasn't to be and it's a hard one to take."
Sam Allardyce's side are sixth in the Premier League following their loss at Goodison Park.
