Callum Wilson hauled West Ham United out of the relegation zone with a limbs-inducing, ‘absolute scenes’ of a 92nd minute winner against David Moyes’ Everton.
In doing so, he not only ensured that Tottenham will spend the next week stuck in the relegation zone despite finally winning a top-flight match in 2026.
Callum Wilson also became the first West Ham United striker in recorded Premier League history to score a pair of stoppage-time winners in the same Premier League campaign.

Callum Wilson secures a unique spot in West Ham United’s history books
Wilson rifled home away to Spurs in mid-January; a genuine season-changing goal which lit the fuse under what is shaping up to be a thrilling sequel to 2007’s ‘Great Escape’.
And ss the veteran poacher pounced on a Jarrod Bowen knockdown two minutes into stoppage time at the London Stadium in late-April, he calmly placed the ball past Jordan Pickford and sparked arguably the most jubilant scenes this most unpopular of arenas has ever witnessed.
Wilson is one of the older heads in Nuno Espirito Santo’s dressing room at 34. Still, improving his superb minutes-per-goals ratio with his second match-winning cameo of 2026, the phrase ‘age is but a number’ has seldom felt more appropriate.
While club legend Tony Gale ripped into Niclas Fullkrug from the commentary gantry – a £27 million ‘waste of money’ – a man snapped up on a highly-contentious free transfer last summer is doing his very best to dispel notions of a striker ‘curse’ in East London.
“There’s your get out of jail card!” a delighted Gale said after Wilson took the wind out of Spurs’ sails and consigned Moyes to a devastating defeat at his old stomping ground.
Who was YOUR MOTM vs Everton and why? 🎉🎉🎉
“How goals change games. Everton get back in the game [through Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in the 87th minute], West Ham get back in the front foot and they’ve thrown it back to Spurs!
“Great ball in by [El Hadji Malick] Diouf, a great ball in, and there’s Callum Wilson with the finish. Wow! What a turn-up. Great header back in by [Jarrod] Bowen, it’s amazing how a goal can change everything.
“They should have done this in the first place!”
