Callum Wilson scored a dramatic-stoppage time winner as West Ham boosted their survival hopes with victory against Everton.

The Hammers had looked set to drop back into the relegation zone after Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall cancelled out Tomas Soucek's opener with just two minutes of normal time remaining.

By that time, relegation rivals Tottenham were winning at Wolverhampton Wanderers - a result that, coupled with a West Ham draw, would see Spurs move out of the bottom three.

But Wilson - who had been introduced as an 81st-minute substitute - sent the London Stadium wild when he coolly slotted in.

With Spurs also winning their game, West Ham remain two points above the relegation zone. The win felt significant as the Hammers showed the battling qualities they will need in their fight against the drop.

For any fan who has gone through a relegation battle supporting their club, it is an experience that can feel to significantly age you.

The whole process can see you experience a range of emotions over the course of a few weeks, but West Ham supporters lived through it all in one dramatic second half.

There was no hint of what was to come in a drab first 45 minutes as neither side created a chance of note, but that all changed after Soucek struck six minutes after the restart.

The experienced midfielder - making his 200th Premier League start for the Hammers - crashed home a trademark header from Jarrod Bowen's corner to put the hosts ahead.

At that time, West Ham were going four points clear of the bottom three with Spurs being held by already-relegated Wolves.

But things dramatically changed in both games as full-time approached.

First, Joao Palhinha put Tottenham ahead against Wolves and moments later Dewsbury-Hall levelled at West Ham.

That combination of scores put the Hammers in the bottom three and there was an air of deflation around the London Stadium.

But that all changed when Wilson struck two minutes into the eight added on.

The dramatic nature of this win will provide a significant boost to West Ham's morale as they bid to stay in the Premier League.

It isn't that long since Everton were in West Ham's position and fighting for Premier League survival - but now they are in the battle to secure European football next season and, particularly for that reason, this will have been a frustrating result.

David Moyes' side have one of the best away records in the Premier League and it looked they would earn a point with Dewsbury-Hall's late strike.

In the end they could not hold on but the visitors will likely feel aggrieved they were not awarded a penalty before the late drama.

Moments before Dewsbury-Hall equalised, the Toffees thought they had a penalty when the ball struck Mateus Fernandes' hand inside the box as he grappled with Thierno Barry. However, nothing was given after a review by the video assistant referee, a decision that left Moyes visibly frustrated.

Despite the loss, Everton are still well-placed in the battle for Europe as they sit three points off sixth with four games remaining.

West Ham continue their bid to retain Premier League status when they travel to Brentford on Saturday, 2 May (15:00 BST).

Everton, meanwhile, next host title-hopefuls Manchester City on Monday, 4 May (20:00).
