That's all for this match but stay with Tribe as the Aston Villa v. Arsenal game is less than thirty minutes away. Until next time, this is Sanil Karan signing off.
Glasner’s Palace are left still searching for a point and face a tough task in another London derby in their trip to Chelsea next week. Meanwhile, the Hammers will host the champions Manchester City next week in the league.
Lopetegui’s side started the second half as strongly as the first, with Kudus and Emerson Palmieri threatening down the flanks but failing to deliver a decisive final ball. Tomas Soucek missed a chance to put West Ham ahead, but he soon made amends by scoring from a loose ball in the box. Palace, struggling to respond, saw Bowen double West Ham's lead five minutes later with a precise finish past Dean Henderson. Palace's lackluster second-half performance allowed West Ham to secure a comfortable victory, earning their first win of the season.
Both teams, having lost their opening Premier League matches, were eager to avoid consecutive defeats. West Ham could have taken an early lead through Michail Antonio’s header from a corner, but it went wide. They continued their strong start, with Jarrod Bowen setting up Mohammed Kudus, whose shot narrowly missed the post. Crystal Palace grew into the game and created their own opportunities, with Eberechi Eze coming close to scoring twice—once thwarted by Alphonse Areola and another hitting the crossbar. The first half ended with the teams level, despite Palace's growing dominance.
90+4'
WIDE! Bowen finds Fullkrug on the left, and he charges forward in search of his first goal for West Ham. However, his attempt is off target and only hits the side netting. He had more time than he thought he had.
90+2'
OVER! Eberechi Eze eventually connects with the resulting free kick from the edge of the box, but can't find the target as his effort goes high over the bar.
90+1'
Wharton and Eze position themselves for the free kick, but Paqueta rushes out to clear the ball, claiming that Wharton had already touched it. Despite Paqueta's protest, the referee disagrees, insisting that the free kick must be retaken.

90'
Wharton and Eze link up outside the box, executing a smooth combination. Then Wharton draws a foul from Todibo in a dangerous area, earning a free kick in a promising position for Palace.
