Palace put five past West Ham in dominant display

In the Premier League this season, Jean-Philippe Mateta has managed to net nine goals, which is higher than the goal-scoring record of any other Crystal Palace player.

West Ham were humiliated at Selhurst Park as Crystal Palace scored four goals in just 31 minutes.

Michael Olise put his team ahead by heading in Joachim Andersen's high pass into the penalty area.

Eberechi Eze scored an impressive overhead kick from a short distance away, while Emerson Palmieri accidentally scored an own goal due to pressure from Daniel Munoz, resulting in the third goal for Crystal Palace during the afternoon.

Olise assisted the goal by passing the ball towards the goal post where Jean-Philippe Mateta skillfully kicked it with the side of his foot into the net.

Towards the end of the first half, Michail Antonio managed to sneak past his opponent and scored a goal by moving the ball past home team goalkeeper, Dean Henderson. This goal provided some consolation to the Hammers.

However, Oliver Glasner's team maintained their domination even after the halftime break. Mateta once again found the back of the net, marking his ninth goal of the season in an impressive display by the Eagles.

West Ham managed to score another goal, bringing the score to 5-2. This occurred when Tyrick Mitchell kicked the ball towards his own goal without looking, and Henderson poorly cleared the ball, causing it to go into the net.

According to David Moyes, the manager of Hammers, the initial part of the match was the worst performance he had ever seen from his team. He labeled it as unacceptable and challenging to articulate.

I feel really let down for the fans who made the effort to come out today, and honestly, I'm ashamed to be sitting here representing the team after the way they played today.

I must admit that I haven't come across many teams who played in such a manner in my entire professional life.

The Palace team controlled the game from beginning to end and had opportunities to score additional goals against West Ham, who previously played a match in Europe on Thursday and appeared demoralized as soon as they allowed the initial goal.

Eze displayed impressive acrobatics to score a goal for his team. The opportunity came after Mateta's shot towards Fabianski was blocked by his right foot. Despite the save, the Englishman seized the chance and shot the ball into the goal.

Eze missed several attempts at scoring goals by shooting the ball off target. After he successfully scored one goal, he also kicked a high shot over the goal bar from close range. The West Ham team found it difficult to prevent Eze, who previously played for QPR, from making these moves.

Except for the goal scored by Antonio, West Ham did not manage to generate many noteworthy opportunities and found themselves completely outplayed once again in an away match they would rather forget.

Palace's Eze And Olise Shine In Brilliant Performance

Eze and Olise have only begun playing together twice this season. However, whenever they play side-by-side, it's obvious that Crystal Palace's performance improves.

The two athletes managed to score and also helped their teammates score by easily dodging and maneuvering through the West Ham defense.

At the age of 22 years and 131 days, Olise has accomplished the feat of being the most youthful player to have had a direct involvement in 10 or greater goals during both Premier League seasons. This entailed 13 goals in the 2022-2023 campaign and 11 goals in the 2023-2024 campaign.

Eze tricked Kurt Zouma in a nasty way by passing the ball between his legs and delivered the ball to Mateta who scored his second goal. Eze could have done better as he expected to score more than one goal, so he must be dissatisfied with his performance.

Mateta has been playing extremely well lately and has now scored nine goals this season. This is a significant improvement from his previous three seasons in the same competition, where he only scored a combined eight goals.

In the 67th and 81st minute, Olise and Eze were substituted and the fans gave them a great round of applause for their outstanding performances in Palace's most significant triumph of the campaign.

Tired Hammers Struggle On Away Matches

The football club West Ham has not done well after playing European matches this season. They faced the same unfortunate outcome when they played against Palace after being eliminated from the Europa League by Bayer Leverkusen on Thursday.

The supporters at the home stadium chanted "you will be fired in the morning" directed towards the manager of the Hammers team, Moyes, when 38 minutes of the game had passed.

During the 693rd match in the Premier League that he managed, Moyes' team found themselves losing by four goals at the earliest point ever in his career. This unfortunate event occurred within just 31 minutes of play, effectively ending the game as a competitive match and giving Palace an easy victory.

During his 250th appearance in the Premier League for West Ham, Antonio was perfectly positioned to score the team's first goal in the first half. He is now one of only three players in the club's history to reach this achievement, the others being Mark Noble (who has made 414 appearances) and Aaron Cresswell (who has made 291 appearances).

The Hammers haven't had a great beginning to the year. They only managed to win four out of their 21 matches in all tournaments this year.

West Ham need to recover from their loss fast because they will be facing Liverpool, who are in contention for the championship, on Saturday at 12:30 BST.
