West Ham United captain Mark Noble was left frustrated after their Carabao Cup defeat to Everton.

Noble felt Everton's deflected second goal was the turning point in West Ham United's 4-1 Cup fourth-round defeat at Goodison Park.

“Sitting in the dressing room, it didn't really feel like a 4-1 game," Noble told West Ham TV. “I thought we passed the ball really well. They were obviously really dangerous on the counter-attack and the second goal and the big deflection killed us really.

“Then Seb had a really good chance, Manu had a really good chance and Yarma had a couple and we didn't really manage to finish the chances that we got, but they were clinical. They had two or three chances towards the end and finished the game off, which was a real shame because I thought, in stages, the boys played really well, the way we passed it and moved it, but in the end their quality showed.

“At this level, we played Charlton and Hull City and you finish those teams off, but then you come here and you give a couple of chances away and you get punished and that's what happened. We didn't finish our chances and they did."

Dominic Calvert-Lewin's treble was his second of the season, and Noble said the Everton No9's finishing was the difference between the two sides on Wednesday night.

“He's got some really good players behind him, too, to put the chances on a plate for him," he observed. “The first goal for us was a bit of a shame as it came from nothing really, and then we managed to get back into it straight after half-time, but Calvert-Lewin is a great player and really coming on strong and he's got some top, top players behind him now to create chances and that was the difference, as with the chances they had, they finished us off."
