Ex-West Ham boss ​Moyes: Arnautovic difference between winning and losing

David Moyes believes that Marko Arnautovic was the difference between Everton and West Ham United on Sunday.

The Hammers managed a tough away win at Goodison Park to halt their miserable start to the season.

They had lost the past four games. But two goals from Andriy Yarmolenko and an Arnautovic strike sealed the points.

"This guy is different class Marko, he really is," said Moyes on Sky Sports.

"He links it up and gets the finish (for West Ham's third goal).

"Marko at the moment is just showing the difference between winning and losing at times.

"Since he became a forward player, he saw it as part of his job (to score goals). You saw his goal, but the run in behind for their first goal, he is a threat.

"If he played for Everton today, Everton would have won the game because every time, especially in the first half, Everton looked to play into Cenk Tosun. And I thought they lost the ball and the first goal comes from it.

"Whereas anything that got played into Marko today, he set it, laid it, he spun in behind, he went again. He makes the first goal that way, he makes the second goal that way.

"So I think if he had been playing for the opposition today, he would have been a real handful for anybody."
