Everton 1-1 West Ham: What Nuno and Bowen said

West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo, speaking to BBC Sport: "We did a lot of good things. We competed well but there is a lot of work to be done. We started the second half on the front foot - the desire was there."

On the character his side has: "We have to build on that. Now it is about keeping it simple and trying to give the boys a good identity. We will get there in terms of identity and character, but now it's keeping it simple. The clear message was how we have to approach the game. It is a tough place to come and Everton are a good team in a good moment."

On the players he has: "It's too soon. It is three days, we are in the process of knowing each other."

On being back in management: "It's nice. It's what we live for - to compete."

West Ham captain and goalscorer Jarrod Bowen, speaking to Sky Sports: "It's a big point for us. We had chances to win the game. They had chances as well so, on reflection, it's probably a fair result. It speaks to the character of the team after going down 1-0.

"We've got a really good group here that really want to work hard and change our fortunes, and I think you saw that. We've had Nuno for two days and I thought we put in a really good performance. It's about time, putting the work in and listening to the new gaffer. We're heading in the right direction and tonight's a good start."
