Crystal Palace beat West Ham United with a 2-1 victory on Sunday at London Stadium. The Hammers arrived at the match looking to pick up more points after losing their last match 1-0 to Manchester United. Palace were coming off the back of a 1-0 win against Southampton. The Hammers are currently 15th with 14 points from 15 matches, while Palace sit in 9th, with 19 points from 15.

The Hammers started the match strongly, thanks to a goal from Said Benrahma in the 20th minute. However, their celebrations were kept brief, as Wilfried Zaha equalised for The Eagles just before half-time to see out the first half 1-1.

Palace continued to pile on the pressure in the second period and were rewarded, when Michael Olise found the net just before the final whistle, seing the match finish 2-1.

Substitutions for The Hammers included Michail Antonio, Manuel Lanzini, Flynn Downes and Pablo Fornals for Gianluca Scamacca, Said Benrahma, Tomas Soucek and Lucas Paqueta, respectively. Palace replaced Luka Milivojevic with Cheick Oumar Doucoure.
