Sean Dyche and Dominic Calvert-Lewin dedicated Everton\u2019s 1-0 victory at West Ham to chairman Bill Kenwright.<\/p>\n

The Toffees were playing their first match since the death of Kenwright on Monday at the age of 78.<\/p>\n

It was a performance the lifelong Everton fan would surely have been proud of with Calvert-Lewin hitting a superb second-half winner.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirstly, and you can\u2019t guarantee it, but it\u2019s befitting to win after the week we\u2019ve had following the sad loss of the chairman,\u201d said Toffees boss Dyche.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe players know the depth of the chairman\u2019s love for the club, they\u2019re well aware of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Calvert-Lewin revealed the shock of the news affected everyone at Goodison Park.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo-one was prepared for what happened this week and it has saddened everyone at the club. That one was for Bill,\u201d the striker told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe would have been proud of us and proud of how we won \u2013 to get the lead, dig in and work so hard. It was a very good day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Calvert-Lewin, who has been beset by injuries over the past couple of seasons, looks to be finally getting back to his best.<\/p>\n

Six minutes into the second half he played a one-two with Jack Harrison, Cruyff-turned away from Kurt Zouma and Nayef Aguerd and hit a low shot past Alphonse Areola.<\/p>\n

It was his 50th Premier League goal for Everton, joining Romelu Lukaku, Duncan Ferguson and Tim Cahill in reaching the half-century.<\/p>\n

\u201cDom\u2019s a very good player who\u2019s had a tough couple of years,\u201d added Dyche.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s very close now, you can tell in his body language and it was a fine finish.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe looks stronger, sharper. It is a really good marker for him to get to that number.\u201d<\/p>\n

A second away win of the season gave Everton a little more breathing space between them and the bottom three.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a tough place to come, they\u2019ve proved that over the last couple of years, so it was a very good performance,\u201d said Dyche.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are improving from last season. I think there are clear signs of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

For West Ham, it was a third defeat in eight days following reverses at Aston Villa and in the Europa League at Olympiacos.<\/p>\n

David Moyes picked an attacking line-up, handing Ghana winger Mohammed Kudus his first start in the Premier League, but their only shot on target came in the 90th minute through substitute Said Benrahma.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat would be a problem for us,\u201d said Moyes. \u201cBut, let\u2019s be fair, that\u2019s the first game we\u2019ve not scored a goal in this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I agree, I thought we missed chances today, we missed two or three opportunities to score. I don\u2019t think it was ever going to be a game where we had nine or 10 opportunities. I didn\u2019t see it that way for either team.\u201d<\/p>\n
