West Ham United vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from London Stadium

Follow live coverage as West Ham United face Crystal Palace today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
West Ham United vs Crystal Palace
Mateta shines in another Palace win. What a revelation this guy has been in the past year. He was a threat in the first half with his movement and headers but in the second he turned into a different beast. He opened the scoring moments after the break, latching onto an Eze through ball and firing past Fabianski. It took until the end of the game for him to add comfort to the result as Nketiah won a penalty which the Frenchman converted, just about. Potter will now realise the task on his hands because, despite the superstars, there is little cohesion among the players. Polar opposites as Palace move up to 12th in a thoroughly deserved victory backed up by the stats. Palace racked up 1.25 xG to West Ham’s 0.44. Delight for Palace and Mateta as they continue to bounce back from early-season struggles.

Well another self-inflicted error for West Ham. Nketiah rounds Fabianski again and this time is taken out by him, Mateta has the chance to double the score!

With the odds against them, West Ham are giving a good effort. Scarles is being really positive and tries to whip a couple of balls into the box but they just go astray.

Potter doesn't want to see another man off so replaces Alvarez with Guilherme.
