West Ham United boss Manuel Pellegrini admitted they deserved nothing from Saturday's 2-0 Premier League defeat at Everton.

Goals from Bernard and Gylfi Sigurdsson secured a 2-0 win for the Blues at Goodison and in the process ended a four game losing streak.

I'm disappointed because I think we didn't have a good performance. We knew before the game that it was a very tough game in a difficult stadium and the position of Everton reflected how much they needed these points," Pellegrini reflected. They ran and they fought for the 95 minutes and they deserved the win.

If I remember the last game we played here in this stadium, we came in the same position as Everton were before the game, losing four games in a row, so that is something that allowed them to demand more from their players and that's what they did.

When you are in the situation that Everton found themselves in, maybe you have more energy. In this same stadium, we came to play them after four defeats and we beat them 3-1. It seemed our team ran double them, but today was different and they ran as if every ball was the last one of their lives and we couldn't be able to try to play in a different way and find the same level as them."
