West Ham United vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Palace have managed to touch the ball inside the West Ham box 13 times, but are yet to create an opportunity that has tested Areola in goal. The Eagles are doing well to contain the Hammers and are organised defensively, but they need more from their attacking options.

Mavropanos' switch is cut out by Olise who feeds it to Edouard. The Palace forward finds Lerma in space inside the box and he attempts to take on Paqueta. The midfielder struggles to get it under control and eventually drags Paqueta to the ground, giving West Ham a free-kick.

Soucek lays the ball into the path of Emerson who looks to take on Andersen, but the Palace defender is able to stick a foot in and poke it behind for a corner. Ward-Prowse to take. He whips it towards the back post and Richards wins the header which falls to Kudus, but his ambitous volley from the edge of the area is high and wide.

Ward-Prowse goes into the book after tripping Hughes as Palace were looking to counter-attack.

Ayew receives the ball on the left-hand side and cuts in towards the penalty area. Kudus attempts to win back possession, but trips the Palace forward and the Eagles have a free-kick. Andersen is standing over it and looks like he is eyeing up a shot. He strikes it... and it deflects off the wall and whistles past the post. So close!

Coufal finds Kudus on the right and he looks to spin away from Mitchell, but the Palace defender is all over him and the Hammers win a free-kick. Kudus has been the danger man for West Ham so far and the majority of their positive play is coming through him.

Ayew looks to break away from Palace as he bursts through the middle of the pitch. Soucek runs across him and trips him inside the Eagles' half, and the referee awards a free-kick. The Palace players aren't happy as they were looking to start an attack before the Czech Republic international brought Ayew to ground.

Alvarez looks to find Coufal who has made a run beyond the Palace defence, but Kudus tries to bring it under control and fails to do so and it goes out for a throw-in to the Eagles. The Hammers are still struggling to get into the opposition penalty area, but Moyes will be happy with their 1-0 lead so far.

Coufal gives the ball away to Ayew who drives towards the West Ham penalty area. He has Edouard through the middle and Olise to his right. He opts to try and test Areola from range, but he gets it all wrong and it flies behind for a goal-kick.

Emerson drives through the middle of the pitch, weaving between challenges as he edges towards the box. Richards makes a tackle, forcing the West Ham defender to the ground, but he just about wins the ball and the referee waves play on. The supporters aren't happy, but it was a superb tackle from the Palace midfielder.
