​Maupay targeting more Everton goals after West Ham victory

Everton striker Neal Maupay has set out his targets for the rest of the season.

The French forward netted a superb goal in a 1-0 win over West Ham United on Sunday.

The Toffees secured all three points at home for manager Frank Lampard, pushing them up the Premier League table.

"It means a lot to score, but the three points are the main thing for us," he said to the club website.

"We've been playing well and it was just a matter of time. I'm happy for the win and the goal and hopefully we can build on it.

"This win had been coming. We work hard every day we had a very good week of training. I think we deserved it.

"I know my job and I have to score. That's why they brought me in. I needed that goal as I haven't played much last month.

"It was only my second game of the season. I'm here to help.

"Against Liverpool, when I didn't score, my teammates all told me, 'You played well, you gave everything'. Today, I got the rewards."
