Crystal palace beat West Ham United 5-2 in the Premier league match at Selhurst park on Sunday.
Michael Olise, Eberechi Eze, Jean-Philippe Mateta and an Emerson own goal put them 4-0 up inside 31 minutes; Michail Antonio pulled one back before Mateta scored fifth; Dean Henderson scored late own goal.
David Moyes admitted he was “embarrassed” by West Ham’s performance after their top-six hopes suffered a blow thanks to a 5-2 thrashing at Crystal Palace.
Moyes’ side produced a dreadful first-half display and were humiliated in the opening 31 minutes, with Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze seemingly untouchable.
Olise opened the scoring after just seven minutes before Eze converted a rebound with an audacious bicycle kick. Emerson then summed up the Hammers’ display by bundling the ball into his own net after a miscommunication with the beleaguered Lukasz Fabianski.
Jean-Philippe Mateta was left unmarked to slide in Palace’s fourth. While Michail Antonio pulled one back before half-time, Mateta was able to fire in a fifth after more outstanding build-up play by Eze.
Even Dean Henderson’s late error, allowing Tyrick Mitchell’s pass to bobble into his own goal, won’t take the shine off Palace’s win – the first time they have claimed back-to-back Premier League victories in a year.
The heavy defeat completes a miserable week for West Ham, who exited the Europa League on Thursday and are now in danger of missing European qualification as their season threatens to peter out.
