Jordan Pickford's stunning saves deny West Ham victory in goalless draw, piling pressure on Julen Lopetegui.

West Ham's struggles continued as they drew 0-0 with Everton at London Stadium, piling pressure on manager Julen Lopetegui.

Everton started stronger, but Lukasz Fabianski remained largely untested in the first half, with Iliman Ndiaye's tame effort posing little threat.

West Ham lacked attacking potency but almost broke through just before halftime, only for Jordan Pickford to deny Jarrod Bowen with a spectacular one-handed save.

The Hammers improved slightly after the break, with Guido Rodriguez forcing Pickford into action.

Jesper Lindstrom's header then forced Fabianski into a crucial intervention.

Crysencio Summerville nearly won it for West Ham with 17 minutes left, but his low shot rebounded off the post.

In added time, Pickford produced another stunning stop to thwart Danny Ings' deflected drive.

The draw leaves West Ham 14th, two points above Everton.

West Ham's goalless draw against Everton may be seen as a slight improvement after their dismal performance at Nottingham Forest last weekend.

However, this assessment would be overly optimistic.

Lopetegui's players showed commitment early on, exemplified by Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Crysencio Summerville's impressive recovery runs to thwart Abdoulaye Doucoure.

Yet, West Ham's attack was woefully disjointed in the first half.

The home crowd had to wait until the 44th minute for the Hammers' first shot.

Jarrod Bowen's powerful effort was expertly saved by Jordan Pickford.

West Ham gained momentum after halftime, with Crysencio Summerville's dazzling run culminating in a shot that rebounded off the post.

Danny Ings' low drive was then parried by Jordan Pickford.

In stoppage time, Ings nearly sealed victory, but Pickford's incredible reflex save tipped the ball over.

The final whistle sparked boos from West Ham fans.

Their team faces daunting league matches against Newcastle and Arsenal next.

A rare positive was West Ham's first home Premier League clean sheet since January.

This shutout marked only their second in 29 top-flight games.

Everton secured a valuable point away from home, but manager Sean Dyche may feel they deserved more.

In the first half, Everton created promising opportunities, including Iliman Ndiaye's low shot and Dominic Calvert-Lewin's header.

Despite dominating the first half, Everton's performance dwindled after the break.

Jordan Pickford's crucial save from Danny Ings ensured Everton earned a hard-fought draw.

Everton have turned their season around, losing only one of their last seven league games.

However, their away form remains a concern, with just one win in their last 17 top-flight games.
