Overview

  • Crystal Palace won 2-1 at the London Stadium, with Jean-Philippe Mateta scoring from a corner and Tyrick Mitchell hitting the winner after Jarrod Bowen’s equaliser.
  • West Ham’s set-piece frailties persisted as they conceded their seventh goal from a corner this season and extended a run of eight home league games without a win.
  • The Hammers sit 18th with three points from five matches, and Graham Potter has just six wins from 25 games since taking charge in January.
  • Thousands of supporters protested before kickoff following a Fan Advisory Board vote of no confidence, with organisers planning further actions including a boycott of the Brentford home game on October 20.
  • Reporting indicates club officials have sounded out Nuno Espirito Santo, Slaven Bilic and Gary O’Neil as potential options, even as the hierarchy publicly keeps faith with Potter for now.
