West Ham 1-1 Crystal Palace: Mohammed Kudus and Odsonne Edouard goals in either half sees Premier League points shared
[ad_1]
Goals in either half from Mohammed Kudus and Odsonne Edouard saw the spoils shared in a 1-1 draw between West Ham and Crystal Palace.
The two sides went into the game in contrasting form – West Ham had won their last four in all competitions, including a midweek Europa League victory, while Crystal Palace had lost their last two Premier League matches.
Although the Eagles started the better on their short trip to east London, Kudus’ fine strike in the 13th minute saw the hosts ahead. However, Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone could have done better as the effort flashed through his hand.
But Palace equalised with their first shot on target of the game. It was an horrendously lax pass from Konstantinos Mavropanos that saw Edouard stride through on goal and dispatch into the far corner.
The result moves neither team further up the table. West Ham remain in ninth place, moving on to 21 points. Crystal Palace stay in 12th with 16 points, nine clear of the relegation places.
