'Embarrassing', 'Cheat' - Fans react to Mohammed Kudus incident during Everton win at West Ham

Fans were left fuming at West Ham star Mohammed Kudus on Sunday afternoon during Everton’s 1-0 win at the London Stadium.

The Toffees took all three points away from their visit to the capital after Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s second-half strike earned them their third win of the season.

The win saw Sean Dyche’s side rise to 15th in the Premier League table, while the Hammers sunk to ninth following their third loss in the last five league games.

After a slow start to the match, the major talking point of the first half was an incident between Kudus and Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

The England shot-stopper raced over to accuse the 23-year-old of diving following a strong challenge from Everton defender James Tarkowski.

Kudus quickly rose to his foot and reacted to Pickford, resulting in both players receiving a booking from referee Stuart Atwell.
