Aaron Cresswell starred for West Ham in their win over Everton.

David Moyes’ has turned West Ham into a side that no one enjoys playing against.

Everton found that out when they hosted Moyes’ Irons.

Returning to Goodison Park, Moyes masterminded a 1-0 win over Rafa Benitez’s Everton.

This will have been even sweeter given how often Benitez came out on top when the two met in Merseyside derbies.

One of the key reasons behind West Ham’s win was the performance of Aaron Cresswell at left-back.

The 31-year-old was on top of his game at Goodison Park.

The stats that he put up were akin with those achieved by some of the best tempo setters in football.

That’s even more impressive seeing as he featured at left-back.

This was a performance to remember for Cresswell.
