Jesse Lingard scored twice on his West Ham debut to clinch a 3-1 victory at Aston Villa. Tomas Soucek opened the scoring after 51 minutes when he latched into Said Benrahma's pass and drilled into the corner.
Lingard, who signed on loan from Manchester United last week, struck in the 56th minute after a flowing West Ham counter.
Villa's Ollie Watkins scored in the 81st minute, but Lingard bagged his second two minutes later as fifth placed West Ham held on for a fifth win in their last six league games.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin got back on the goal trail as sixth placed Everton won 2-1 at Leeds. Calvert-Lewin notched his first goal in eight league games to take his tally for the season to 12 after Gylfi Sigurdsson had given the visitors an early lead.
Raphinha pulled one back for Leeds soon after the interval, but Everton secured a fourth successive away league win for the first time since 1985.
