Crystal Palace 2-3 West Ham
by Gene Sylvester at Selhurst Park

Selhurst Park saw the New Year in with a London derby which saw south pitted against east with Crystal Palace hosting West Ham in a pulsating game where the visitors ran out eventual 3-2 winners.

It had seemed at half-time that West Ham’s victory would be much more comfortable with the score standing at 3-0 after the first 45 minutes, but a late fightback from the home side had put the result in the balance right up until the final whistle.

“The game turned out to be a bit close for comfort but we take what we can get at this time of year” stated a relieved David Moyes following the full time whistle.
