West Ham are winless in 11 WSL home games since November 2022Karen Holmgaard's second-half header sent West Ham United to the foot of the Women's Super League as Everton won a scrappy contest at the Chigwell Construction Stadium.
Substitute Holmgaard pounced at the far post to nod in twin sister Sara's delivery and handed the Hammers a club-record fifth consecutive top-flight defeat.
Goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan had saved the injury-hit Toffees by touching Riko Ueki's strike on to the post two minutes before Holmgaard's winner.
Everton's third WSL win lifted them to seventh.
In a game characterised by unconvincing finishing, Toni Duggan curled an early strike wide of the far post for the visitors after breaking clear inside the penalty area.
Everton top scorer Megan Finnigan also glanced a header beyond a post from Hanna Bennison's cross during the first half, while Nicoline Sorensen and West Ham's Viviane Asseyi dragged shots wide as the sides traded presentable chances.
Bristol City's draw at Liverpool means the Hammers are a point adrift at the bottom, having tasted victory once and lost seven of their nine games this season.
Everton's four-match unbeaten away run in the WSL is their best run on their travels for more than 11 years.
West Ham's next match is at Leicester City next Sunday, while Everton host Merseyside rivals Liverpool in the group stage of the League Cup on Wednesday.
