Everton suffered a set-back in their bid for a top-five Premier League finish as they were held to a 0-0 draw by West Ham at the London Stadium on Saturday.
In a game of very few chances, West Ham, marshalled by Jose Fonte and James Collins, nullified the threat of the Premier League's top goalscorer Romelu Lukaku, who barely had a shot on goal.
West Ham were the more threatening side as the game wore on with Manuel Lanzini and James Collins both forcing saves from Maarten Stekelenburg, but neither side could break the deadlock on what was a frustrating afternoon in east London.
The point inches Slaven Bilic's side closer to top-flight safety - they are now seven points above the drop zone with four matches remaining.
For Everton, they move back above Arsenal into sixth but are two points behind Manchester United in fifth having played three more games than Jose Mourinho's men, who take on Burnley live on Nissan Super Sunday.
