With the assist on the game-winning goal, the 23-year-old forward was instrumental in the comeback victory. After missing a penalty in the first half, Beto of Everton made amends by giving his team the lead early in the second half.
However, Kurt Zouma quickly leveled the score for West Ham by meeting a cross from James Ward-Prowse.
