Everton boosted their European qualification hopes with a dominant 2-0 victory against a lacklustre West Ham at the London Stadium
First-half goals from Kurt Zouma and Bernard saw the Toffees continue their revival under Marco Silva as they secured back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since October
West Ham, without captain Mark Noble and talisman Felipe Anderson, lacked leadership and creativity as they relinquished a six-game unbeaten home run
The victory sees Everton climb above West Ham into ninth position, a point behind seventh-placed Wolves, with the Hammers now 11th
Everton picked up from where they left off in their victory over Chelsea before the international break, taking just five minutes to hit the front
Zouma easily outmuscled Issa Diop to meet a Gylfi Sigurdsson corner before diverting it into the ground and lopping into the top corner
With West Ham's defence all at sea, Lukasz Fabianski single-handedly prevented Everton from running riot inside the opening 15 minutes, denying Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Sigurdsson and Bernard with three saves in quick succession
But Everton got their second on 33 minutes
 Seamus Coleman played a neat one-two with Richarlison to get in behind the West Ham defence before squaring for Bernard, who had the simple task of stroking his first Premier League goal home from close range
Manuel Pellegrini brought Javier Hernandez and Michail Antonio on at the break, but the substitutions failed to spark a comeback, the Hammers failing to register a single attempt on target during a dreary second half
As audible discontent from the home crowd grew, the hosts were fortunate not to lose by a greater margin, Richarlison missing the chance to add further gloss to Everton's victory when he cannoned a free header against the crossbar seven minutes from time
"[It's] not only the worst home performance but the worst performance of the year - away or at home
 We have lost a lot of games before but not playing the way we did today, without creating chances and conceding so many chances for Everton
 "I'm very satisfied
 We are working to achieve this type of performance
 It was 2-0 at half-time but could have been three, four or five
 We controlled the second half and had the best chance to score
 Since the first minute we were the best team on the pitch, and from the first moment we created problems for them
"This award could quite easily have gone to anyone in an Everton shirt, but Bernard's performance was flawless
 The Brazilian ruthlessly exploited the space afforded to him by the West Ham defence, who were baffled by his vision both on and off the ball
 When he performs to such a high level, it's a wonder how it's taken this long for him to score his first Premier League goal
