The sound of boos ringing out at the London Stadium has not taken long to return. This was a miserable afternoon for Graham Potter, whose side finished with 10 men and failed to register a shot on target during this deserved defeat to Crystal Palace, and it will surely intensify West Ham’s efforts to sign a new forward this month.
Palace are unlikely to have an easier clean sheet. Dean Henderson had nothing to do in goal and Oliver Glasner’s side were able to assume a tight grip from start to finish. Jean-Philippe Mateta, with his 10th and 11th goals of the season, produced the finishes that saw Palace move above West Ham and stretch their unbeaten run on the road to seven games.
